Hello Parkie - what a blast from the past. Just dug out the old Pln photo - I think our pln commander was Lt Nicholson of the RB. Some of the other lads were Roy (Paddy) Somers, Tony Harvey, Dennis Camp and I think another PO called Ross-Brown. I've also got some photos of us outside the Snake Temple in Penang and in the cookhouse on Christmas Day 1966. I moved back to Muenster with my wife Anneliese 2 1/2 years ago - Oxford Bks hasn't changed much but all around it has been built up now. If you drop me a line on geoffbye@t-online.de I can send you the photos if you haven't got them and we can have a natter.

Regards to you old mate,

Geoff
