Can anyone remember a Dave Boyd or a Steve (Paddy) Fowler, both RAOC.

Would like to get in touch with them but lost contact in 74

Any help would be appreciated

Can you give any more info Alan?

I joined in 1976 and stayed in until 1992 so I may have bumped into one (or both) over the years. I have to say I don't recognise the names although Paddy Fowler may be ringing a bell somewhere in the depths! my memory isn't what it was. What units did they serve in?

Hi guys, have you thought of using the dedicated RAOC site, type in RAOC online.com and you should get there.
Regards Pete.

LOL I was a shiny arse Staff Clerk and then a prog anal, so we probably never met.

Subject: Re: Lost Mates 2/9/2010, 16:54

Dunno Jim, I had a fair few mates at 1BR Corps who were shiny arses. The computer bods however were a gang unto themselves!

When were you in 1 (Br) Corps? I was there in the mid '70's

I should like to include myself within this thread.
I served with the RAOC - irrespective of what some might say Shocked

Note: Can I now be a LCPL, based on time served - or 5 posts?

I was REME!!! but on here I was promoted to a Sargent in the RA. I come from Woolwich - which is exactly why I didn't join the Gunners!
