100th Entry RAF Locking 1962-1964

Just coming back down to earth after the reunion. Superbly organised by Pete Wallace who deserves a huge vote of thanks.

It was great to see so many old friends all looking very well, considering our ages. The only thing was that one evening wasn't quite long enough to sit and chat and catch up all the news from everybody. Some hardy souls stayed up till 3 or 4 o'clock but I fell by the wayside long before that.

Many had travelled a long way, making a huge effort for this reunion and made it a great success. Hopefully we can all keep in touch through the website and the magic of e-mails.

I've sent some photos to Tony Linden for the site - he really has done a great job with it and also deserves a huge thank you. I think you can copy images from the site but if anyone would like prints from the originals let me know; if there's enough demand I'll work out a price and do them at cost plus postage.

I got the feeling that we would all like to meet again and try to do that at regular intervals - perhaps every couple or three years? Perhaps we can discuss that in the forum?

It was good to see you all and renew old friendships. I guess we've all been busy with life, work and families but maybe now is the time for us all to enjoy a bit more leisure and spend time with old friends.

Best wishes to all, Ken.

I have made the URL visible for each photo in the Gallery, so you can use this for FTP downloads or just copy the image or right-click and "save as..".

Thanks for your comments about the Site Ken, pity I can't say the same about my ISP (Orange/Wanadoo) who have failed miserably as a web host. Hopefully the new host, 125mb.com, will give us better support.

I had an PM from Paul (F-G) about the reunion and I came onto the site to have a look at the photographs. brilliant I wish that I had been there. It looks as if I am the only one who looks as he did in 1964. LOL Cool

The ladies looked spectacular - Now I need names to the faces. The fellas of course.

I totally agree the photos are brilliant. They certainly seem to show that everyone was really enjoying themselves. Wish I could have been there, perhaps next time?

Pete definitely deserves a vote of thanks for organising the get together.

Must admit though that without the names I would not have recognised some of the attendees Shocked

.

Paul.

I have made a stab at filling in some names on the first big photo. Any one else like to chip in?

Number 10 is, I think, Pete Larter and one of the 2 number 10s is Kipper Cain.

Number 19 looks like Bruce Thorpe.

Thanks for the input Paul (I will get round to YOUR photos soon, if you have finished submitting them to me).

I have now updated the two big pictures at the end but there are lots of blank spaces to fill in.

There are now 36 photos at http://s89.photobucket.com/albums...cking/Reunion%207th%20Oct%202006/
The majority of attendees have been identified on the 'REUNIONS' page of the web site but we still need to fill in a few blanks (particularly the ladies).

There are now 94 photos at http://s89.photobucket.com/albums...cking/Reunion%207th%20Oct%202006/
Many of these are NOT on the web site REUNIONS page. Most of the photos in PhotoBucket have no titles or captions. If you want to add these, there is now an input form at the bottom of the web site REUNIONS page for this purpose.
