I stumbled across this from a google search.
My Grandfather was Stanislaw Wasilewski. He worked at many places, but one of them was in Air Traffic Control at El Adem where he lived with his family. And Yes, I think you went sailing with his daughter my Aunt Suzy or maybe my mother Julia!
They did indeed move to Thorney Island for his next posting.
I grew-up a few miles from Thorney Island just the other side of the harbour on Hayling Island and was to born into a life of sailing boats!
