Welcome to the BB Robin (ID IS 5462rjw), Robin joined the regiment in Aden in 1960 he was in 3rd Troop Asqn. I will let him tell you all about his time in the Royals.
When ever we welcome a new name we hope that he will contribute to the general chat , but they very rarely do. So Robin ,welcome and once again we hope to hear more from you once you've got into the swing of things. Paddy
Yes Butch, I'll tell you what when I'm back on the road, we must meet up in Dorset my nephew has a Ferret ,we can pinch it and drive though the ullus of of Rhododendron's and perhaps capture a few local C.T.s PADDY . I don't think you will find that Butch will be a passive member he as he was almost as verbose as me I'm sure you will find him good company Bye the way Butch we have Jim Aichinson on site but he seems very shy these days as of lots of the other A sqdn lads we have Frank
Welcome Robin. You joined as I left Asqn 59. was terry wood in 3 troop at that time. He just lives 1oo yards from me now. I think he also served in malaya. John.
Thank you Gentlemen for making Robin welcome, like George I told him that you would and like George I should know Robin as he was also in Asqn with myself in Neesoon.
Well I would like to see a few more Asqn lads on here. it would realy be good for Jim Aitchinson to show him self.Hey Frank I doubt very much if I could remember how to drive a ferret now, but they say you never forget how to ride a bike
yes Butch talking about riding Bikes ! someone was remembering Kim on this site a while back. Right me bags are packed I have to check in to hosp tomorrow at 0800 hrs see you when I get out in a few weeks. Frank.
Bob, Trying to get Jim Aitchison on is like getting blood out of a stone, at least he comes to the reunion and I phone him accasionally so we do keep in contact, I have tried to get him on the phone today but I think he must be away, when I get hold of him I will tell him you have been asking after him.
