Thanks GIGFY, memory could be fading a bit.
I was at St. Mawgan from November 1961 to June 1966 with a break for fitters course mid 63 to mid 64. During that time we had 201, 206 (Mk3s) and 42 (Mk2s). This changed when 206 moved to ISK and MOTU came to St. Mawgan but I'm fairly sure 42 had Mk2s when I left there for K'sar.
On escaping Aden in 67 I went to Ballykelly, home to 204, 210 (Mk.2s) and 203 (Mk.3s). I think that was unchanged when I demobbed in 1971 but it's possible 203 may have move to Honiton??? prior to my leaving.

That website is the 37Sqn site run by Dave McCandless. It was Dave who married the daughter of the lady owner of the most popular pub in Majunga's famous Tintown neighbourhood. I visit it regularly (the website) to catch up on any new messages which sadly sometimes include departures of old mates.
