Oh Halcyon Days of Youth ( Miss Spent )

Are we starting a new thread about old British motor-bikes, then? There are many good web-sites out there guys ... for instance, try www.planetmotorcycles.com (they are physically located next door to the offices of Expat Network in Croydon, for those of us who know that place!).

Regards to all biomed bikers!!

Arborfield - SEE Mark 2, is now here at Kidderminster. As for ex med and dent techs. Steve lemmon, John Whalley, Terry Coates, Bill Straker, Dave Metcalf, Paul Edwards, Hugh Hind (not really a true med+dent but worth a mention), Solley Ollusha, Bob Bunnings, Ivan Salmons, Lofty Ricket's and many many more.....In fact would all of you ex med and dent techs like a copy of your exam results when you first passed through S.E.E now S.E.A.E? It makes good reading..

...so envious here.

The one regret in my 50 years is that I didn't get some military service in when I was younger. The more ex-service types I come across in this profession, the more I wish I had 'got some in'.

all the very best!....respect!

I've tracked down my old buddy Colin Maloney. Colin was (is) that rarest of breeds, an RAF technician who transferred to the army as an electromedical technician. His last post was as the senior tech. at BMH Iserlohn in Germany. All that was a long time ago, of course, but Colin has run his own medical, dental and veterinary equipment servicing business for the last 20 years. If anybody wishes to get in touch with Colin, a message to me will do the trick.

Some of the guys may remember Peter Shephard (another ex-REME type, I'm afraid). Pete doesn't "do EBME" these days, but has been very successful in related areas. Anyone wishing to contact "the Good Shephard" can drop a message via myself.

Hi All

Yes another ex REMEite now at North Devon. Went through SEE on Electro Med in late 60's. I remember Bill Straker? He played cricket I belive. Posted to BMH Iserlohn in late 60's early 70's then went civy to a German X Ray firm in South Germany. Now thinking of retirement. Any one know of John Lockey (also Iserlohn), does any one remeber Bill Wakely at SEE?

All the best to all ex Sevice guys (both Blue and Brown jobs) Our Electro Med couse was thw first combined service one and I remember the blue jubs asking where the dinning area was in the centurion tank when I showed them over it.

Hi John,

...so you must remember Wullie Anderson, then. Wullie was my mentor when I first started out in "electromed" (in Hong Kong, luckily enough). Wullie always said he would return to the pit at Dalkeith. Anybody know what has become of him?

Best Regards to all who wore the film-badge!

Wullie retired from Big REME and worked for SSVC in BAOR for a while, he was still there when I left in 1992.
I believe that he bought a council house in Dalkeith and was going to retire there, as for the pits they went long ago

I was talking Julian Thompson a couple of weeks ago and the name Ben Britain came up.
I know that he got married when he was at Ludgershall but I don't think that it lasted and I believe that he went to the middle east any body out there seen or heard of him?
