Labuan Toe

Next April, you may well be remembering more of your service career than you thought possible. Seeing old faces, hearing stories and anecdotes helped on by the odd glass or two will have your memory working overtime. Why not get a head start & leave some of your printable memories here?

Labuan Toe was an affliction well known to anyone who spent time on the island in Borneo. Every morning, sick quarters would see a queue of those unlucky enough to have been attacked by the monsoon drainage ditches while trying to navigate their way back to the billet after an evening in the NAFFI.

Your Mission Possible

There is still time to help find more of the entry before next April. We are not in contact with them for a variety of reasons: Some have died, some have emigrated, some don’t want to be contacted and some don’t know about us. Trying to find who moved to Pétaouchnock is not going to be easy but you like a challenge and like most of these games, the winner gets points – and points mean prizes.

An analysis of those we are in contact with would suggest the following breakdown:

RIP	10
Africa	2
Asia	2
Australia	1
Europe	5
UK	12
US/Canada	2
Total	34

Happy Birthday

Just in case you were short of an excuse to celebrate, you might be astonished to realize that your web site is one year old already since that fateful day when the champagne bottle was smashed to pieces during the launch.
In our short year, the site has had over 3000 visits and over 12000 page views which gives you some idea of what you can prove with numbers.
Although the site has had some success in keeping in touch with the faithful few, we are still trying to trace more of the entry so anything you can do or suggest would be very welcome.
Cheers...

If you are still using older versions of popular Internet browser or navigator programs, you will find the current generation run faster with more emphasis on what is on the Internet page rather than cluttering the top of the screen with a myriad of menu options. These updates are all free so it's a cheaper way of making your computer run faster for nothing.

Thanks to Chris Tett

Once again, many thanks are due to Chris Tett for all the time, trouble & energy spent in organizing a successful reunion. We all appreciate what you do (with help from the rest of your team at home).
Those that were unable to attend this time were remembered with a toast to Absent Friends. Next year on 20 April, we hope to share a drink with you. Don't be afraid to book the Hotel early - they have already started taking reservations.
Some pictures on the site will give you an idea of the venue but next year the reunion will start at lunchtime.

Radar web site

A site that might be of interest, especially to ground radar fitters.
www.radarpages.co.uk. I often wondered what I was doing at Staxton Wold.

1. How many 92nd originally joined up on 22nd May 1959?
2. What was the name of the chap that died on Summer camp?
3. The following names were labeled as being being ex-91st. At least some of them are wrong. Can you remember any of them? Any information would be most welcome.
