Does anyone know where I can buy a Pussers bedcover? You surely remember them, with the anchor in the centre, on every bed or bunk you ever slept in. There must be thousands of surplus covers somewhere! |

100 years since the start of WRNS. I joined in march 1967 - that's 50 years. Suddenly I feel very old. |

Just a small amendment to my previous post, it could not have been early seventies when I saw Dave Brooks on Anglia television, it must have been eighties or possibly early nineties |

Well Ray thanks for that, he could not have been very old if he died in 2010.He really was a great fella, he used to love playing the part of that Spanish chap, "seenyor totoff" as he did on many occasions when we were at Lee together. |

Kenny - that was indeed Lt. Cdr Brooks that you saw in Departed Shipmates. I was lucky enough to spend a commission on the Happy Hermes with him; he was a great man and saved me losing my hook when I was duty Met rating in Cape Town - and couldn;t resist a run ashore......or it might have been in Alongopo city. Probably the latter!I |

Johnny my good friend, you have to realize that many of the characters from our era saw that period of their lives as over and finished with, and there is nothing wrong with that ethos. There are only a few of us who see any merit in reminiscing they way we, you and I and Ray and a couple of others do. |

I am not sure whether its just me or seem to have lost planet met but the only names I seem to remember are Ken Ashton and Ray Brooker, is it because the Met Branch that knew has now forgotten, I believe Ray Brooker and myself were both Pioneers in Asweps which was the original concept of Metoc. I see reunions amongst the few but never any more of us oldies. |
