Hi Still wondering if any members of 72B C Company are attending this years Reunion. 2022 is our 50th Anniversary of Joining.

Just popped in to see how the new site is working.Looks good from here!

Why is it that improved systems are usually not as good as the old tried and proved system. For instance when we submitted and entry for the Guest book it was entered immediately and not three days later when the entries connection to the submission date is lost. Also my entries used to say John Eveleigh from Edinburgh but now I am John from Eveleigh
I expect it will improve Like I hope my Typing will.

I served for 25 years and only saw Queen Elizabeth once and that was in Sunderland, when standing at the side of the road I watched her pass by in her car.
Travelling home from Egypt in a York Aircraft in 1953 we flew fairly low as these planes were not pressurised, but this allowed us to get a good look at the ground beneath us during the Flight. We flew across France and then the water and made a sharp turn to the right to head for England.
Some one ,can't remember if it was the Pilot or Steward, told us to look out at the surface of the sea as the Queen was reviewing the fleet.

True enough we flew over a huge formation of ships in position ready for the review. Later I found there were 170 or more ships in the Formation. It was a sight that not many people actually saw from the Air. So although I only saw the Queen once, I was able to tell people about this historical occasion.
The fact that we actually flew over this formation showed that Security was much less then than it is now.

Hi Folks -- Something odd there! I should be used to oddities by now but glad I am that we can still chat. The Guest book survived being thrown out once - maybe twice -- before.... Never mind i just want to say I was sorry to see Rev Mooney and Maurice Murtaugh have popped their clogs. Maurice worked really hard for the reunion.... i can remember Rev Mooney's reaction to something the commmandant said at a reunion -- forgotten his name, and the comment -- but a few of the women guests did sort of cringe. Can't erember his name but except for that unexpected comment he seemed a fun sort of ´bloke to have as the big chief. Sty well -- all of youse.
Cheers!
JayBee.

Very sad to read of the deaths of Rev J Rooney , Maurice Murtaugh ,and all in the Memorial Section..My condolences.

Once again I am entering the fact that it is again an anniversary of my entry to the SCHOOL.
Why do I do it? probably because my rather ancient brain keeps telling me there must be more 42A Group our there somewhere, who might say Hello John. No such luck for quite some time.
Any how it is now my 80th Anniversary and if there are any 42A Group members out there Good Luck to you . Don't forget to change the batteries in your hearing aids.

Recently spent quite a lot of time tying to find a Branch of the Korean War Veterans. My friend died recently and as he has no relations, only In Laws I thought it would be nice to obtain representatives from that conflict to attend his funeral. I have never had such a frustrating hour on the computer.
I found many references to the Korean war including the Korean Veterans Association. However finding a contact to ask about attendance at his Funeral proved impossible. One interesting phone call was after contacting the British Legion and being given a Number to ring, I found myself talking to a bewildered woman at Kings Lynn Council. I apologised and rang off.
At last having worn out my finger tips I sat back and thought the matter. over. The Korean War was 1950 to 1953. My friend was 23 when he was there and 69 years have past since the end of the War, he was 23 then so it probably meant that there will be few Veterans who are younger than the late Eighties. Probably many with memories of the conflict but not really able to attend Funerals

Hi EJB It is very easy to have a security system or systems put on your computer. I run a Accounting/Tax/Finance/Management consulting business,plus advise clients in various parts of the world.(We have over 200 clients).Our computers are linked to each other both on and off site and we have never had a problem. This is due to having a top rate security system for all our computers which is updated on a regular basis, by a top rate service supplier. Maybe you should come down here and see how we do it? The sun shines most days.
