I know what you mean about keeping in
touch with school friends. I never did keep in touch
with anyone after a new posting. We went from Aden
to RAF Halton near Aylesbury Bucks. (after 6 months
with Mums family in Suffolk) I just seemed to move
on and get on with a very different life.
My memory is terrible I had
completely forgotten about the Dhobi Lines. I can
remember most places could not place them with
respect to each other. I remembered your name
because its memorable and I had thought of you a few
times during the years, wondering whether you were a
press photographer or sports photographer. I would
never have guessed water purification.
I have tried to remember other names
from Aden and can only come up with about 3.
Hillary Cook - lived 2 doors away in Mills square.
Caroline & Allison Clementson also in Mills square.
I will have to have a chat with Mum and see if she
can jog my memory. My older sister Marilyn may also
come up with a few names. David, Jillian, Richard &
Adrian were too young to remember much about Aden at
all. Were you in the Air scouts. I remember a few
trips in Shackletons, Twin Pins, Beverlys and
Wessex's and I was with someone but cannot remember
if that was you. "
