Hi agen for attn PatH. ur entry refers , Nope u aint the last one by a  long shot. from ur dates at NWCC u were there same time as me 1957 to 1960 then I went off to Singapore. My Boss man was W.O. Gerry Chambers were u Commcen or Pbx? Either way a happy unit to be at with fond memories.
Heres one for others of our era... Who rembers the big security exercise held with Haydock under attack, Think it lasted a couple of day/nights. I was a Gaurd Commander and had bod parked in the Slag Heaps etc to catch any infiltrators, and they tried. If memory serves me right we caught those that tried. Ah happy days and memories

Hey Lin!

That photograph - unless they started serving sunglasses at the Spider's Web bar, I think you'll find that was the NAAFI shop the picture was taken in.  I seem to remember the lady on the right worked there.

Glad to see you back online, anyway.  When you find Ken's phone number and give him a call, ask him to give you my email address.  I'd love to hear from you.
