Reading this thread brings a huge lump to the throat and tears to the eyes, so many great guys and so many happy memories.

Al, a total pro and a genuine nice guy.

Ady, again a total pro and a gent

'Q' always remember his flying boots being filled with water and put in the fridge, sadly didnt freeze after 2 days in the Sheraton in catania.

'BT' always good friendly banter with him, especially of a football nature. Then we left him on the mainland in Malaysia once, took him a while to get back to the hotel after a car journey, then a ferry then rickshaw and bus, fortunately he saw the funny side as we all did. I believe his flying suit has been removed from that resturant, but was there for quite a few years.

The rest of the guys, flew with many of them and didn't know some as well as others, but for all, and let us not forget LCpl Dicketts and Marine Windall.......

RIP guys................we will always remember
