I bet ole Joe L would love to see these photo's.

Geoff, here is the second one rotated

Is that DAD WILKINSON at the rear table righthand side??????

You're eagle eyed.....must have been a chopper pilot!!! Or is that supposed to be hawkeyed?? Certainly looks like Dad. Is that a young Chay Blythe 2nd from right??

Not Chay Blythe Most likely Flash (Brian) Gaunt second from the right.
Dixie (Tom)

Goodness it is to....remember how he used to tell everyone how he "lost" a tank in Korea?

I thought that it was WW2??? There were still a few of them knocking about when i joined.......what was the name of the ex SAS PTI that we had in 66??? Absolute bloody maniac. Then there was Taff Mazan who should have had his own UN badge ...fought for the Poles, Germans and then Brits.

Could have been Danny, with Dad you never really knew how old the bugger was Taff Mazan yes I remember him & all he served with.....unreal

Ian
it was,nt Korea when he told me the tale in Borneo[he was in the next bunker to
us mortars attached to B/Coy] it was Normandy and the D Day landings where he
was a sergeant tank commader driving off the LCT and a private at the top of the
beach,having drove into a bog and went hull down.I wonder if it was the same tank
that was extracted a few years ago and is now a memorial?
There was an article in one of the tabloids a good few years ago about an old Para
who after a Sunday afternoon session down the pub was kept awake by some kid
flying his radio controled model aircraft just outside his bedroom window [Wilky!]
So without more ado he went into his wardrobe got out his trusty old 12 bore and
blew it out of the sky and went back to bed to sleep it off!!
And thats when the law was dragged in,hence the tabloids.

Hey Tom how the f------ hell are ya marra?
George

Thanks George, I did remember the sinking in a bog bit - last time I saw Wilky he had just left the Btn and got a range wardens job on Ash ranges.
Silly bugger bugger right enough shooting model airplanes

Mackem, Thanks for that. Made me laugh out loud.....it's great to see that not everybody is toeing the line and thatb there are still 'characters' about.

Talking about run ins with the Law,
how did Tony Moriarty get on after the hassle he had about 5 yrs ago??

Percy the evidence is still under lock and key

Moriarty......now there is a blast from the past....what's he been up to Perc?

There was a news paper aryicle complete with photo,Some yobs had been harrassing Tony and I believe his family in the Shot,The old bill as usual didn't want to know that is untill Tony gets one of the yobs in a head lock or something similar and wont let go the police then charge Tony with some crime,but I cant remember the Outcome.It was on the other site which was run by the previous /Devious Pair and no one seemed to care some members even mocked the Man.

Hmmm, well whats a man supposed to do when he and family are threatened? and shame on those who mocked him !!!!!
I remember Tony was always into some marketing idea, I even still have a little "clicker" gizmo I bought off him to count steps when tabbing I had alot of time for the man.

I think i read Tony had a run in with a young guy and Tony put him a locker and called the police ,when i say locker i mean <locker metal >
