You are right there John. There are several ex-forces personnel on the site. I served in the REME, joined 1960 and was invalided (nothing to serious I might add) out in 1978. I enjoyed my 17 years; I spent 12 years in the Parachute Brigade serving in: 16th Parachute Workshops, Brigade HQ, 7th Parachute Regiment, 22 Air Squadron and 1st Parachute Logistic Regiment. I have just returned from a reunion of friends my wife and I made in Dusseldorf, Germany in 1973. We meet once a year and take it in turns to host the weekend – good fun.
Kindest regards
David
