Trying 2find D Scott, B Bond RE 1960s

There was a gunnery accident (165mm Cent' AVRE) in 1964 at Lulworth Ranges when an old mate of mine (Fred Gogin) was badly injured. He would like to make contact with David Scott and Bill (Lofty) Bond who, he said, saved his life. Fred was a gunnery instr and the 2 guys were students serving with the RE Wing at Bovington (Armoured Engineers)

I have tried to find them both but with no success - tried many ex mil sites, FRU, GRU, FB etc, etc

Are you a member herehttp://www.sappers.co.uk/ I tried the Members list couldn't find themhttp://www.sappers.co.uk/squadrons/bovington-re-wing

Thank you Jerry. I have explored all avenues trying to find these 2 guys. Even foned around all D Scotts in Doncaster as D Scott thought to have been from Donny

If you could get a rough guestimation of age now (Rough Date of Birth) I may be able to help

Jerry, not on here every night hence delays in replying. Ta for offer of help much appreciated. Will have to talk to mate. When I searched GenesRU (fam history site) I estimated ages as born around 1942, give or take 3 years but nil result

Latest action I've taken is to Email local REA Secs for Leeds and Cornwall to see if the guys are members.

I see you served Marchwood. I was a trainee Marine Engineer there in 1959 at 17 Port Training Regt but got chucked out Autumn 59. Trouble was, Scrumpy was a lot cheaper than beer! lol

oldsap I'll send a Private message Jerry
