Hi Ricky,
Yes, I remember you. Nice to hear from someone from so long ago
that I do remember. You are the first person to contact me.
Jon Anderson, as I recall, returned to Bawdsey to finish his
service career and went into shipping at Felixstow Docks.
I have lost contact with him.
Best regards
Hugh

Hi Hugh, like Ricky I should remember you from 114MCRU, I
departed back to the UK in Dec 1966. Spent most of my time
between 114 and Changkat (heaven) never made it to Westen Hill
but worked on the convoy for a short while. Happy days.
Gerry.

I had also put the Changkat photos on another forum on the 'net;
the RAFForum.
Have just got a response from another member on that board who
also operated at Changkat, but not on radar. He was a Spec Op
(V) and a few members of his unit used the site as base for
'monitoring' Indon freq's around mid-64.
Anyone there at the time and remember this? Was news to me.
