George speaks very highly of you, as well, Neil. How about George's contemporary ... Bob Wilcockson (also ex-REME Electromed). Can Bob still be in Riyadh? Note to Tony: Bob worked with your mate Bill Crombie (and my mate John Pearce) at the infamous King Fahd Medical City.

I believe that John spent more time in Riyadh than he did in Perth. And about his marital CV ... I think all I can say is "pass". But otherwise, it was the same bloke you must have known along with Gordon Miller, "John" Davies, Peter Bowers et al during commissioning at the Royal. And, of course, Terry, Bill and the "Hairy Matchstick". Not sure if you had already left when Tony Strong joined the "A-team"! Whilst I'm at it, I guess I should give an honourable mention to John McGinty!

I believe John Mc Ginty is at the Great Western in Swindon, also Peter Barratt, ex IAL EBME Manager at King Hussein in Jordan.
The Hairy Matchstick recently left the Royal whereabouts unknown.
I wonder where the " Gargoyle" is now, also " Little Gem " ha ha.

Good for him! That means he should now have plenty of time to get on here.You know, to join in the reminiscing! There's no excuses, now.

Has anyone heard from Eddie Hughes recently? I came across some of his Mariner stuff last night, and realised how long ago all that now is!

After loafing on Bournemouth Nuffield Beach since 23 March 2007 [as above] Tony Grimmett is catching the TUPE train for the Outsource Boat docking at Nuffield Hospitals EBME. The Nuffield Crew of 5 looking after the 14 Nuffield Hospitals will be emigrating to TBSLand on the 1st Feb 2012. Any advice from absent friends on surviving or drowning in the choppy crossings of TUPE gratefully received.

Eddie is still at the National Guard in Jeddah, busy with his musical career apart from the biomed stuff.
