Allo boys, long time no speak. Ray, your second guess was the right one, Charlie Wines was the chap to thank for your extended honeymoon. |

You may well know him, according to the Doc he was on the Hermes in 1964, I believe you were on board around that time. ike yourself names escape me. If he is anything like his daughter, he would be a nutter. Sorry that should be like yourself, My Laptop is past its prime. |

The name definitely rings a bell, but as usual nowadays, I can't remember exactly where from. Was he the man who decided draft chits for the Met men? I was at Northwood finishing my 9 years and due to leave the RN, when I was offered a draft to HMS Terror in Singapore if I signed on for a further 5 years. As I was also getting married, I then spent a two-year honeymoon in Singapore. My wife also was hired as a teacher in the Naval base, so life changed from almost continuous sea-time on Victorious and Hermes to a cushy life in Singers. Was this due to Lt. Cdr Statters, I ask myself. Or was it a bloke called Charlie Wines? I know that a phone call to whoever it was worked miracles...... |

I have been having treatment under my Local Doc who I have known for many years, yesterday I just found out that her father was a Met man. I wonder if anyone an recall the name of Lt/CDR Statters, it will give me Brownie points with her. She also tells me he was a Diver.He served from 1953 to 1973. |

Contemporaries included 'bomber' Dunstan, Tinkle, Dinger and Clanger Bell, Charlie Sager, Peter Booth, Carlos Trotman, Ken Morris, Johnny Randall, Paddy Cooke, George Clevett and many more. Served on the Glory and the Jamaica. I have tried to contact Cloud observers without success. Please somebody, anybody contact me by email if this message reaches civilisation. |
