No mate. I did RFA Argus and that was it. They were just going to Afghan when I was compassionately posted back to Harriers.
I have lots of mates at Odiham still and going to my mates wedding this weekend (Squeeler) if you know him. WO Cunny will be there, as will Goaty, Taz and a few more (if you know them??)

Couple of photos for you guys....

Hi Again, Jason

Had the chequerboard bib on my 1302S, the towel rails and white walls on my 1200, along with those lovely chrome domes, the wooden boot rack on my 1300A (was a pig to fit correctly); I could go on, but.....

Best 'accessory' I ever purchased was a copy of John Muir's bible on all things air-cooled

Did ALL the servicing myself, with his help, and an endless supply of Assam tea

Cheers

Greetings Jason

Nice to see a few ex mil hanging around here (especially 'Riggers'). You done better than me with your postings - I got dumped up in the farthest reaches of the UK, on the 'Kipper fleet', and shoved in a maintenance bay for good measure! Kinloss was dead as a Dodo, back then in the late 90's.

Ruby Bug looking good mate and the Vulcan shot is great, amazing what you can get at Sunderland

Hi Jason
When were you at Laarbruch, and which Sqn (or ASF)?
I was by the Dutch border, past the golf course on 20, times 86-89
