Thanks for that Gordon, I sometimes lie awake at night wondering if the light in the 'fridge goes off when I close the door, electricity isn't cheap nowadays!

You could allways sleep in the bloody fridge !

Missed all what was on the media because of working away any one take part your memories perhaps

Afraid not. Memories not fit for publication.

I remember when in Boys Service, Troon around the early part of 1963 (after the snow had gone) preparing the Camp and ourselves for a VIP visitor. I think we spent the better half of a month drilling and cleaning for his eminence, the Regiment even went to the trouble of buying a vintage Rolls Royce to convey the aforesaid VIP from the Camp gates to the saluting dais. About two days before his arrival the Commanding Officer got a letter something along the lines of:

Dear All,

Sorry, but I have been caught with my pants down and had to resign so, won't be able to come and look down my nose at you after all. Hope you didn't go to too much trouble.


Your etc,

John Profumo
Secretary of State for Defence (Ret'd)

But the Rolls came in handy for more VIPs,and even more bullshit.

That VIP had visited us (TOS) in Sharjah and spent a convivial evening in our home made bar. Great company. I later met a mate who had spent some time in their hostel in the City.
Small world.

I remember Profumo coming out on a visit to Germany, early sixties I suppose.

At the time morale was pretty low but he improved our pay & conditions and a lot of new kit came to us as well.

He was a good Defence Secretary.

(Twos up on Christine, John !).

She was indeed, apparently she had aspirations of becoming a Layer.



(Brum, I have just noticed that we both have the same seniority number).

This is a picture of Valerie Hobson (b1917 d1998) English film star and wife of John Profumo. She stood by him to the end. Cant help wondering why, but love is as they say, blind.
