    Hi Peter!
    You know who knows! Neil Yakalis who has memories of EVERYTHING!! Hey, my Dad, Alan, isn’t there? That’s disappointing. Mind you there are a few men missing.
    Harry Clay bred Collies.
    Vince Sims was like a second dad; he was MC at my wedding in 1973. Stewart….well…so many stories. Could one of the men be Mr Bullen /Mr Seaton/ Mr Mahoney? I’ll send the photo on to my brother, he may remember.
    Kind Regards
    Lorraine Thomas (née Ritchie).

    Photo of Alan Ritchie sent to me by his daughter Lorraine Thomas. Alan came across from AWA as a ships radio officer & technician. He served at numerous OTC out stations & brought a wealth of knowledge back to his last station Doonside. I was very fortunate to be trained practically by Alan before he retired.
