Yes Ken it was Ivor Batey, he was at the School when I was Courting my ex, I am trying to think of who he looked like, That chap in Treasure Island, Ivor use to carry his Burberry around with him in all weathers, The wren was a Met Wren, I mmet him again at Admiralty where we use to have the office run ashore starting at the Chandos took the Bar Maid with us, My Wife Tricia was not impressed when we staggered in the very late hour, after that we stayed at Admiralty after the run. I met him again in Terror, not sure what Ship he was on . we spent our time in a building playing with a ball of paper, a bit like the old days at the school. Remembered who he looked like : Robert Newton, Heard he joined civvy Met. |

Johnny, I assume you mean Ivor Batey , Ivor was on course at RNSOM Culdrose when I was there and as I remember it, his then girlfriend, a Wren of what branch I know not, was extremely partial to many sessions per day working out with whatever equipment Ivor had. |

Go on then, I'll be next. Went out for a meal with a buddy of mine last week, and it transpires that he spent 30 years on the RFA's. So I showed him some photos of doing a RAS on the Hermes and he not only named the RFAs in the photo, but Tidespring was one of them that he was on at the time! He also knew all there was to know about Bugie Street, Nee Soon and HMS Terror, so I knew he was telling the truth.... |

Thank goodness this site breathes again ,You beat me to it Ken, you were always fast on the draw. I have also looked at the Forum waiting to see if any more entries but nothing. So not as popular as thought. Evens that Ray is next. |

Have just visited the Forum and as far as I can see the last post on there was in April of this year, so not what you might call a hive of activity! |

Listen mates – I don’t often intervene midweek on the GUESTBOOK but …re 257 …. Let me put something to bed right now – I commented on JW IN A GENUINE AND POSITIVELY WAY BECAUSE I COULD USE THE GUESTBOOK LINKS TO CHECK ON HIM ! not maliciously just to prove a point!) I HAD NO INTENTION TO INFER that JW was other than a straight and HONEST publican and I APPOLOGISE to JW if I have caused him offence. The very recent absence of the Nee-Soon ads Shirley will be explained by the ‘management’ im shure in due course. |

The trouble is I already have a username and password for the Forum, but I have forgotten what it is! And when I try to start again with a new passsword, a message tells me that I already have one - so here I am again on the Guest Book. How interesting was that....... |
