On his return to the UK on November 20th of 1946, his aircraft went

Gerry, my Dad, is 80 on 6th of October 2009 and we are
having a celebration for him in Liverpool and would be delighted if
anyone who served with him, could get in touch
so I could officially invite them to come and join in the celebrations.
Some background that may help: He was born in the Speke area of
Liverpool in 1929; 5ft 10 with very dark wavy hair. Was very sporty
especially football and boxing. He began his training with the Kings
Liverpool Regiment in early 1947 at Harrington Barracks, Freshfield
near Formby. He was then sent down to Portsmouth and also spent time
at Thatcham near Reading . He was then sent out to Egypt in April 1948
and was sent back in November 1949. I believe he was part of ‘Z’ Force
on
his return.
His rank was Sergeant.
Please does anyone know my Dad?
Thank you, Paul Durham.

I was the camp minstrel and played guitar and sang all round
the Moascar Garrison and also had a residency on saturday nights at
Alex`s bar in Ismailia. Eventually I was joined by others and we
provided a complete concert party which led to invites to other units
in the Brigade inc. 9 Airborne Squadron, 33 Light Regt.R.A., the Guards
Coy and the NAAFI club. I would love to hear from anyone who remembers
or encountered us on our journeys around the place.

He was a driver at RAF Fayid and drove a fire tender, bus, and

a rescue mission to a crashed airplane. Someone called Ray was part of
the crash crew. I would be very pleased to hear any news about

It is his 80th birthday in November and I thought it would be nice if I
could find anyone who knew him. I know this isn't much to go on, but I
dont want him to know what I am up to.

It appears he had a pet Alsatian dog named "Max" and that he
ran the camp sailing club. He may have been a Corporal or Leading
Aircraftsman and he was one of those chosen to represent the RAF at the
Coronation of Queen Elizabeth. I seem to recall the Squadron to
have been something like 205 or 206 but am not sure.

We went via the Empire Ken, I think March 1953. 10 day from
Southampton to Port Said. We stopped for a few hours in Algeria. After
I had been with the 2nd Battalion for about four months, I managed to
scrounge a transfer to R.A.V.C. attached to the R.M.P.'s in Abu Sultan I believe. The reason I am not
sure is because I could have been in Aba with the
'Skins' then trained with the dogs in Geneifa, I
seem to have lost my marbles after that. When you don't use these names
they seem to join up all together.
The 2nd Battalion was made up of a few Irish regulars and loads of
cockney pratts like myself, but.....what a great bunch of blokes, the
sense of humour was brilliant. I was flown home to Blackbush in July
1954. If there is anybody who could put my intelligence on the right
lines again, brilliant. If there is anybody out there who would care to
drop me a line as per the email, brillianter and brillianter.

You posted my details on 18th Oct and I was contacted by a Zone Vet on
the 23rd. He lives about a mile from me and was a
storeman at RAF Fayid. As I'm quite busy at the moment it will a
few days before we can get together. He tells me that he is one
of a group of about twelve that
meets quite regularly in Adelaide, so all being well I shall
accompany him and meet the other members.

Hello there Charlie, Chris Wike here from Southampton with some good
news. I have now managed to come into contact with Alan
Russell due to your help with the e mail address that you sent me,
so thank you very much.
It does appear that he was in the Ordnance Directorate at GHQ MELF 17,
but was in a different department at the same time, although we never
met we both knew several of the same people and I am looking
forward to exchanging a few memories of our time there. I
will keep you posted with a few details as time moves on.
An announcement
on your website of the fact would also help.

Hi Charlie,
I am pleased
to tell you that I have had a reply from Barrie Lea, (we
worked together as projectionists at the R.A.F. Fayid cinema) -
success at
last, - as he says in his email he cannot believe, like me, that
all the others have passed away. So I thank you for creating such a
wonderful web site. I have
emailed another ex serviceman who has supplied photos for you, his name
is John Rumble! Just think without the internet I don 't think
any of us would have connected. So once again thanks and I check
the web
site frequently. I will keep in touch.
Peter Brown.

Hi Charlie,
Once again I
must praise your column because I have heard from Peter Uterhark, who
was in the same billet at R.A.F. Fayid that I was in, sleeping about
three beds away from me.
Thanks, Peter Brown.

We lost touch long ago, because at that time very few people
had phones in their houses, and from memory none of the three of us
were very good letter writers. I often wonder
what they are up to, and if they remember the scrapes we used to get up
to.................where are they now?

Unfortunately my father past away in June 1992, having never
spoken much about his service.
The only information I can fathom is from my father's service book and
scribblings on the back of old photographs, such as, - one taken by
"that tree", - MELF 27, 1 Div. Sigs. Reg., - "C-in-C"?, - Exercise
"Atomic Warfare" and operation "Standfast", - a dog called "Scruffy",
- a pal called "Geordie" and The Hippodrome.
As far as I can work out, he had made it to Lance Corporal by, or
during, that period, eventually to Sergeant some time later. Thank you.

I was born in the Canal Zone and unfortunately Dad (Dixie)
passed away some years ago. I am now trying to research his service in
the Zone. In 1949 we lived in the Married Quarters at Ismailia.
His RAF Number was 359319 and his rank on de-mob, (April 1961) was
Chief Technician, his trade was Aircraft Carpenter.
He was awarded the following medals: - Long Service and Good Conduct
Medal, General Service Medal with Palestine Clasp (1945/48), Defence
Medal, War Medal.
Any help with my research would be really appreciated. If anyone who
can remember him from his time at El Firdan, Ismailia, Fayid or Abyad,
please contact me at the above

I was probably known by playing a guitar and singing rubbish

Oh incidentally, whilst in Cyprus on a scheme, I managed to shoot the

After documentation they would be posted to their coy's and
then report to the QM Stores for their tropical kit where they
would have met Norman Brody a fellow member of this
website. I carried out duties as Parts I & II
Orders clerk
for all ranks including officers and I have a great memory for names
and a few faces.
These days I
try to find old pals (young at the time in Egypt) of both RAOC and REME
who were attached to us and I am grateful for the REME databases and
assistance given by my
REME friend Jim Wilberforce who is also a member of this
website. Useful points to remember when
trying to trace your pals, always supply the name of your commanding
officer, your adjutant, your company commander, your
RSM, your WOII/Staff/Sgt in charge of where you
worked. All the best of luck in tracing old friends.

In August 1952, I went to Cyprus on leave aboard the ss
Charlton Star together with another airman called John. During the
crossing, we palled up with 4 soldiers whose names I forget but I think
one of them was also called John. At Famagusta we decided against
staying at Golden Sands camp and instead lodged with an Armenian family
who made us very welcome. The lady we knew as Mrs. B. and her 3 lovely
children were Sonia, Jack and
Boris. It would be great to hear from any of those soldiers.

1/ There are a few Suez Veterans in France, as I have found
out from French News (a monthly English language newspaper published
here in France – 30,000 circulation).(
www.french-news.com ) It would be interesting perhaps, in 2006, the
magic 50 years after the final departure from
Suez – but before the 6 day affair,) perhaps to have a reunion – lunch
or dinner or even a weekend in France. Could
this idea be put forward? France is a large country, BUT
they have an efficient public transport system and food and wine is
considerably less expensive (and better!). The logical place
would be Paris – all rail, road,
and air links lead to it – but there is also Lyon – Air France hub,
direct fast trains – even from UK – and Burgundy is the
gastronomic capital of France. With my contacts I would be prepared to
help to organise some part of it and
return north for the event or weekend itself.
2/ To
anyone related to LAC A.R. (Buzz) May – aged 19 - who was killed in
August 1955 on the Treaty Road outside Royal Air Force, Abyad. –
I have a couple of colour
photos of his beautifully flowered, final resting place in the
tranquillity of the Fayid Military Cemetery that I could email
if they would like.
I believe he came from somewhere in
the Nottingham area.
