Interesting Thread of Conversation
How many blue jobs have passed through No1 Radio School on their travels, as opposed to the Med & Dental route ?
I have the dubious pleasure of having attended both establishments of Service learning, Aborfield & Locking (but through the Radar, Missile system route).
Many fond memories of sports afternoon skives in Bracknell and Weston-Super-Mare.
By way of Service clarification, REME Aborfied calls it a Parade Square, RAF Locking called it a Car Park. For amusement, leave a red ring binder marked Secret EMER on the back seat of your car and check how long it is before the Regimental Police contact you, (bit of in-joke for the Aborfield crowd).

Max,
Yes, tut tut, but I suppose he would still be allowed to attend a reunion - even if he has moved into clinical Governance. Chief Exec next??

Amazing how many ex service guys are in the NHS, do we have any ex 33SU or 22TSU members out there?

...too many blue-jobs for my liking!

Don,t you mean " Crab Fats " Geoff ??
or is that too Senior Service ??

Do I detect a hint of jealousy from certain quarters ?
Inter-Service rivalry and banter has a long and distinguished history.
Ex-Service personnel are rightly proud to have served in the Forces, the detractors usually use terminology without knowing the meaning or origin of the terms crab, brownjob or a matelot,(apologies to ex-crew members of the grey funnel line).
I dont mind being referred to as a crab,or crab-fat, or having served in Her Majesty's Royal Luftwaffe even, but the right to label me as such is reserved for other ex-service bods only (not civvies or wannabe's).

Greetings to all Ex-Service brethren, whatever your current role in the wonderful world of Medical Engineering.

Don't forget my good buddy from Hong Kong days, Tony Fenech (...at the Royal Gloucestershire). Let's hear from you, mate. I know that Bob Wilcockson is *still* at the King Fahad Medical Center in Riyadh. Peter Shephard is out in Qatar as far as I know. I've heard news recently about Bill Crombie.

So, where are all the rest of them, then? Might as well hear from the lot of you - especially those who have "kept the faith".

Hi Geoff, me again. So the " Good Shephard " is in Qatar then !! Have you heard from Lawrie Kerr or Charlie Crossan lately ??. Brendan Cairney and Ken Gorman are still at the Royal in Oman.
Is Bill Crombie still in Ryadh ?
How about Irving Clark,Dave Gifford and John McGinty ?? Take care me old mate Tony.

Yes, Mate,

I believe that your good buddy BC may be in Malta. Last I heard, John McG was in Brunei (lucky ******). Nothing heard from the others you mention (but as you know, I have been "out of it" recently).

Best Regards,

Geoff

Hello Geoff,
I was interested in your mention of motorbikes on the RCM discussion. Whats this about rebuilding motorbikes? What bike are you rebulding?
