Service Number	4110388
Now living in	Burbage, Leicestershire.
Comments	I was stationed with 651 AOP Squadron (Royal Artilary) from late 1953 to 1956 and then transfered to Cyprus with the Squadron. Throughout this period we lived in tented accomodation located in small camp site in isolation on the fringe of the airfield. Facilities for hygiene, meals and toilets were primative to say the least. Guard duties were every three nights, we had to provide our own camp site guard and were included on the guard rota for RAF Ismailia. Our Auster aircraft were used for desert patrols, anti-terrorist activities and in these roles the observer would man a bren gun and fire through the open door way rather like the modern helicopter gun ships. We were often ordered to carry out the observer/rear gunner role.

Comments	Member of Advance Party from HQ 1st. Inf. Div. from Tripoli, Libya to the Canal Zone on 26 Oct 1951. HQ 1st. Inf. Div. never learned to cope with National Servicemen. They were poorly treated and served under what were generally mediocre officers and NCOs .

Comments	I have travelled the World as a businessman for close on 50 years, but I still look back at my eighteen months in the Canal Zone as one of the best times of my life. I learnt respect, suffered some hardships (including swimming and playing cricket for the Corps) but more important learnt the true value of companionship. My thanks to Dick Woolley for securing me a small place in history. (See Bryn's article in the 'History and Recollections' section of the website. DW)
