Guest Book

Hi All,

Would love to hear from anyone who remembers me. I joined in November 1976 so was at Met.school in January 1977! After drafts to Yeovilton and Northwood and a couple of times at Dartmouth- don't ask! I left from Yeovilton in January 1983

I would be delighted to hear from any of the Met Wrens that I served with between March 4, 1958 and March 4 1962 at Harrier, Culdrose and Yeovilton.

Good to see your new MET Site up and running and that you soon gather more members. Please pass my regards to Pete Squibb, I was on Airmanship with pete having joined in 62. I then went on into the chockhead branch, god thats 50 years ago next years.

Ray,
I joined 18th Feb 1958 12 days after the Munich Air Crash. Went to Bramcote as a possible NAM but changed to Met when the instructors realised I could add 2+2 and get four!
Will never forget sleeping in the guard room at Bramcote with the camp dog ( a bloodhound)which was a rum junky, used to get all the slops after the tot issue.
It always slept under the duty guards bunks and oh boy did it fart!

We must have joined in the same year, Ken; 1958 - June 10th, to be precise.
I was at HMS Ganges for a year as a boy entrant, though, and very proud to have done so, too.
We have a re-union every year on June 10th; but we have learned not to drink before sunset, after a few disasters.....can't take it any more, I'm afraid!

Only 69 Ray, you always were a bit of skin!
Where do the years go though, 53 years since I joined the Andrew and so much of it still quite fresh in my memory, not all though, still don't remember too much about Flora Day in Helston in 1960.

Glad to see Guestbook is up and running at last.....I'll be 70 next April, so you'll not be alone, Ken! As usual, I'll be doing something dangerous on my birthday - will leave you to guess what it is; but it involves having a jump - very dangerous at 70........!

Well, Ken I did try to be the first but wasn't accepted! I only said nice things, so don't know why? One of which was to say how much the Cloudobervers Roadshow was appreciated at the Coronation Hall, Dale for the 50th anniversary of HMS HARRIER closing. Lots of info, photos & chat. Navy News printed my report and it'll be in the Oct issue of The Wren mag, photos too. How to see it? Join the Association Of Wrens. http://www.wrens.org.uk. Thanks Gill!

Agree with Ken it does look a little under nourished on this page so let me be the first too wish you all a Merry Christmas and a prosperous and Happy New Year for 2012......

Got nothing to say really but it looked so bare with no entries.
Great to see the website up and running again and hope all my old buddies and shipmates will be contributing again shortly.
Just had my 71st birthday wish quite frankly amazes me, never thought I would get there!
