Congrats to Gillian and Trevor Ricketts. Fifty-five years of wedded bliss.227 viewsGillian writes - Today (3rd July) we are celebrating our EMERALD WEDDING ANNIVERSARY (55 years - I know!!!). Fortunately for Trev I am not a fan of expensive jewellery and I couldn't think of anything of anything green to give him so we have decided that, when Covid 19 departs (and it will), we will take a celebratory trip to the Emerald Isle!! It is strange that, having travelled a lot in our lifetimes, we have never been to Ireland. That will be something to look forward to. In the meantime we will celebrate the day with something alcoholic shared with good friends. Happy anniversary, darling Trev xxxxx Martin Powell (3 votes)	Aerial view mid-60s497 viewsCompare with the layout plan HERE The corrugated-roofs were Romney huts (not Nissen huts except no.3 on the coloured plan, bottom left, which was).2 commentsadmin (3 votes)	David Michael Gerrard 1946-2016 (aka Prefect)1844 viewsMy very very sad task to report David's passing on Sunday 17 January.

Nice people running the military bookshop, but won’t allow me to go down as they have lots of artefacts stored there pending refurbishment to make a museum. However at least I got further than last time. The sloping tunnel remains very familiar, although the steps and smooth concrete sidewalks were not there when we opened the place in summer 1965.1 commentsIvan (2 votes)	Form 2C / 3C circa 1976901 viewsI'm 2nd from right top row. 4th from right top row is Gary and to his left is Billy Mac (MacDonald) I think it is Steve Fairclough 7th from right top row and to his left a lad called xxxx Gleeson or similar.
