I remember John, Mac and Talbot very well and was very sad to hear of their passing. It was only at the last reunion that Talbot tried to sell me a kilt - you wont be surprised to hear I didn't buy it. Great guys all of them.RIP

To add to Jim Turner points, before leaving 216 in Autumn 1972. Tel Williams transferred from the Parachute Regiment as Lineman. He loved his Nijmegen Marches and attended on several occassions. He also served with the TA SAS. Mac MacFarland known as Mac joined about the sametime as a lineman, from memory they where both good at their trade. I spoke with Mac at a recent reunion, really pleasesnt guy to speak with. RIP to both.

Gents, just to let you know that Mick Waterworth has had a nasty fall and is in hospital in Aberdeen recovering from a broken hip. It appears he was in Asda and had to wait 5 hours for an ambulance! I think we living in a third world country. He had a partial hip replacement at the weekend. I'll keep you posted.
