No wonder I never really made it past UA8/9 (or even Cardex for those who can remember it ) !!!! Trying to get this sorted out was bad enough. Anyway - Many thanks to Martin for getting this underway.
Just to keep all you guys informed, yes, I am still around although not in UK. Well done Tansy on your retirement - but did you manage 36 years in the RN as I did ?? Left RNEWOS in '91 for 12 years in the RN Careers Office in Leeds but I guess that doesn't count as active service. Did estate management in N. Yorks for a couple of years and then decided to retire early and move out here to Turkey. Am I glad I did. Would not go back to UK now if you paid me. Life here is good with lots (too much sometimes) of sun, sea and cold beers. Plus its a lot cheaper to live here and no stress.
The list of fellow gollies is too long to mention here, but I would be interested if anyone has any info on John Lill, Ginge Hickerton, Jim O'Halloran, and my old mate from RNEWOS Pete Morton (I know he moved to Canada). Be great to hear from anyone else of that era as well.
Must go and re-learn how to channel balance the FH4 and find out what a "flip-flop" switch really does. Best wishes to all gollies past and present
John

ReplyDeleteI am working in sunny West Sussex for an Earl, bit like an Admiral but in civvies.

Got to be done, the older we get the faster we were. IJS
Pete Morton moved to New Zealand. He transfered to their mob when he got married to one. My former boss at SMOPS went walk about 1990.
