two great minds think alike!

[mike11111]

So was I Alex. Gunners there were in the RAF Regt, affectionately known as "Rockapes".

Mike, werent we both at Marham? I think this has been mentioned before. At least it escaped todays cuts

[mike11111]

I was never at Marham, but spent 16 months at Catterick, the Rockape HQ at the time. I was only in the mob from '68 to '72 so our times may well not overlap.
