Frigate Bird Magazine

Subject: Frigate Bird Magazine 15/8/2011, 14:21

In the early 70s I was with 12 fld sqn on the "Short Strand" in Belfast. The Regiment "25" published a magazine on a monthly basis. I have the August and September issues but would love to locate the issues for the following couple of months.
The magazine was named after the "Frigate Bird" which was I think the Mascot of the Regiment. I remember seeing and polishing the replica bird in the Officers mess when I first got to Osnabrook as I had the dubious honor of being chosen to work in the OM for the first couple of months of my service.
Any help out there please!!!

It could well be although I seem to remember it being more ornate than this looks although pics can be misleading.
How big was this?
By the way how do you put your rank in? I am an ex Sapper and proud to be so would like to change the "Private" that appears on my profile.
