After you guys left, it was taken over by 49 RP Coy RAOC.

One of the best postings I ever had.

Joined this group yesterday and was surprised to find that Obernkirchen was mentioned. After training and a short stint at 81 Maritime at Gosport,I was sent to 29 along with another driver Bill Fleming,arriving there in Aug66.
It was a good posting as far as I was concerned,with some great lads .Off the top of my head there was a WO1 McKenna in charge along with Sgt Danny Mulligan.A couple of full screws were Paddy Joyce,Mick Brett(later to transfer to MPSC),Noddy Jones.
A few dvrs were,Johnny Marment,Lofty Careless,Ken Tyson,Paddy Johnston,Steve Yarlett(deceased),Dave Brimble just to name a few.
I had a look at the pictures of the old place and rather a sorry state.I have a couple of photos that I will get around to putting on.
I left there on July 1 69,en route for 130 flight RCT at RAF Changi,but then in Jan of 70 transferred to the RMP at Gillman Bks in Singapore.

Hi Digger,

I haven't been on the site for a while, then I saw your message. I well remember most of those you mention. I was really sorry about the sad death of Stevie Yarlett, his German wife, Marlies, must have been devastated. I heard of it from Ray Weldrand (also RCT), who was there around the same time as me.

I must know you too, but I can't place you. Anyway, I wish you well and thanks for bringing up some very happy memories with the names.

MsG
