Hi Folks, I was better known as "Brummy" MT platoon from 1960 to 1969. From Winchester for training, I moved on to Warminster, then Penang, (A place I have re-visited 3 times) Borneo, Berlin, Tidworth, Cyprus then finishing up back in Tidworth.

I now live in Australia as I have done since 1972. I would like to keep in touch, I have only just found this site, so bear with me while I get used to it.
