Liverpool University Air Squadron reunion
 

Ok Lads and Ladets, or whatever we call ourselves they days, It's time for a reunion, so the the slackers of LUAS circa 1986 to 1988ish it's about time we had a reunion. So looking for: Howard Payne, Gash, dizzy, zig froome, mickey spillane, betty potter, Scottie Burge, etc, you know who you are! so Lets pull out our fingers!;) pm me and we'll sort something:)

Amazing - got my real name on PPrune !!
Those people spanned the era up to '92 actually. Sounds like a lot of fun.
PM on the way ........
Oggin

What about those 1991 and onwards ?! Can we play too? I'm sure Nik Nak, Spadger and Zim etc would like a road trip too.

Last heard of Dizzy in Oz - not sure if she's back in UK yet.

LUAS - are you out there?
 

Let's narrow it down to some courses shall we? Of the years in question - our course was the 'Hine Course' (1989 - 1991/2) after the CAS at the time. Zig, Mickey and others will remember this.
I agree it is high time that we organised a reunion so let's spread the word and get courses on either side of the Hine course to log in so that we can capture everyone around that time! HP you were a year or two ahead of us - are you still in touch with many LUAS lads and ladets?
:ok:

HP
 

Howard worked for BA last time I talked to him (about 5 years ago lol).

I'll email the address I have and see if it still works !

PM me for a list of people I know of that era around the bazaars.

Oggin

Back to the top and to let IrishSarBoy, Chris Griffin and Bulldog69 know that I appear to have gained wiggly amp comms with HP.
cheers
Oggin

I want to ask HP about those USA rumours... I've started to put feelers out to Stear cse (91-93) - a message should be winging its way to Andy Whitney quite soon via Steve Emmett. Gomez said he is keen to go and I've found Nik Nak on friends reunited. Where's scanners these days? I believe Tristan Swan was flying for Aer Lingus and Rob Wilson was/is a Rock prepared to be corrected tho.

Still see Graham Clifford on occasion, sadly festus is no more. More than happy to do some chasing as it could be quite a good evening. Must stop boozed up bumbling.

Pick A Date.....
 

I agree on Irish SAR Boy's request, lets have a reunion.
(Although this time, lets make sure you don't get your 2 front teeth kicked in!)
So go ahead, make a date now. Those with 'normal' jobs should have 6 months to get their leave sorted.
According to the UAS history pages; LUAS dates back to Jan 1941.
Too soon to org a 66th I guess ISAR !!
So why not pick late Jun/Jul for a reunion at Woodvale/Liverpool ?

I'd love to join in but being 4,500 miles away might hinder the admin, but i'll fly back for the party !!

Lets hope to get the 'boys' back together:

Corrie (he's the size of a lorry)
Clancy (can be a bit of a nancy)
Storr (bit of a bore....)

Scott, Gash, Rex, Dizzy, Payne, Spillane, McCrory, Lamont, Betty, Lees, Bonner etc etc
And lets not forget the infamous Bazz & Giz !!
Is it worth opening it up +/- 2 years ?
It'd be funny to Clifford, Lofty & Bumless Burman again ???

Anyway, gotta go

PM me if req ISAR Boy.

AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL WHO READ THIS CRAP, DRUNKEN MUMBLING....

Jackson Course
 

Haven't been on this site for ages- friend picked up on the thread. Seen courses either side but no posts from the Jackson lot. I'm happy to trawl through some old address books but having finally escaped from the dark and light sides 5 years back, there will be people with more up to date contacts. Anybody out there more current? ( sounds fun tho if you can cope with a boring sales rep who still can't handle her drink! HIC):\

I have good contact details for Pat Sobers, and I know that he still stays in touch with Norm.

LUAS Reunion
 

Sounds like we have quite a few contacts out there so let's start pulling it together. I am happy to start collecting names and have set up an e-mail account specifically for this prestigious occasion: luas.reunion at btinternet.com (convert this in to an e-mail address).

Start passing this address on to all LUAS members around the late 80's and early 90's and encourage them to get in touch with name and details etc. I will take it from there and contact Woodvale to see what they can do for us.

:ok:

I can help with Steve Green (private dentist to the stars), Si Stevens (BA - again) and Andy Bean (BA) ...

What - no Barry, Gary or Terry? Eh, eh.....


LUAS reunion?

BEagle, calm down, calm down!

LUAS Reunion
 

Rob Wilson is a Rock - seen him in combats and beret!
Mick Baker was a Harrier mate last time I bumped into him,
Ed Thomas likewise.
I'm pretty sure I bumped into LUAS members in MPA who were Tonka mates too.
What about non-aircrew members (remember there were ground members too . . . .)
Fossie is a Wing Co in whitehall now sorting computers not teeth,
Give Carol Norrington a ring and ask around?
Farrier

Hello to Steve Emmett - what the devil are you upto these days?
Weren't you part of that "hard as rock tour" that sent a postcard to CAS to thank him for the lovely trip you had?

LUAS Reunion - 2 Jun 07
 

Right Guys,

This thread has gone quiet after lots of initial interest but I have been in touch with LUAS and the reunion is on! The main reunion event will take place on Saturday 2 Jun 07 from 1700 onwards. The draft programme is as follows:

Saturday

1230: Meet at OM for lunch (those who want it)
1400 - 1700: Tour around LUAS and Tutor ac
1700: Reunion and meal

Sunday

0900: Breakfast
1000: Tour around LUAS and Tutor ac
1200: Depart

The programme is flexible so that we can accommodate different arrival and departure times (i.e. there are two chances to look around LUAS). I now need to start collecting names, contact details and whether you need accommodation on the Saturday night. So start spreading the word and encourage people to get back to me as this will only work if we get a decent number of ex-LUAS students to come along. The contact address is luas.reunion at btinternet.com (convert this into an e-mail address).

Cheers

:D

LUAS Reunion - 2 Jun 07
 

Great to start hearing from people but it would be useful to get peoples details and e-mail addresses rather than just Pprune log ins (Oggin and Craven Moorhead). Please e-mail to luas.reunion at btinternet.com and I will get your names down.

Keep spreading the word.

Cheers
