Whilst I hold no support for anything he has ever done I have to say:
“Captured without a shot being fired” well, well done Saddam is all I can say. A crafty old fox to the last.
Think about it !

Not surprised, can’t knock his achievements, well done old son etc. but it was a team effort after all. Should have gone to Martin Johnson.

What dreadful news.
I have read his works for many years but I only met Robert once at one of the Raydon Wings events, he left a lasting impression that will never fade. One of life’s true gentleman, we will all miss him, my thoughts are with his family and friends.

If there is “an above”, just imagine the tales that will be being swapped tonight, I bet he is taking notes !!

Goodnight Robert.

Check your e mail Mark, I may be able to help.

“Ah I can see the parade square now.”

Hope you have some photos of the old place Phil because pretty soon it will all be gone and buried under thousands of houses.
The MOD are going to build a monster new barracks on the land between Kirkee, McMunn and Roman Way.
Half of the Para’s are living in a Portakabin village on Cavalry Barracks and most of the married quarters around the Musket Club have been sold off.
Hyderabad, Meanee, Le Cateu, Flagstaff House, SCREDE, 36 Reme workshops, the Civil Service and Arena Sports etc are all due to be flattened in the next couple of years.
Abbey Fields and the sports pitches will still be there but demolition work has already started around Ypres Road etc. on the land behind where the Mil Hospital stood.

The stable blocks at Cavarly have been listed thank goodness.
