Royal Signals MuseumThanks to the efforts from some of the lads who were at the RSA Blandford Reunion this weekend and took the trouble to phone me with the news that the new Museum Director has listened and wants to find out more about us and hopefully create a display dedicated to Denbury...my efforts in the past did not work out but did get a lot of details from the files there that is now recorded on the historic website...there are those of us keen to see the project go forward and hope the additional exposure may get the Regimental Standard back that has been missing since the late 1960s anybody who can help please get in touch via the contact page www.denburyjuniorleaders.com

Lads of A tp then quadrant of Era 1960 and 61 and maybe 62. I am going to visit your old Tp Sgt Tom (not Tim as ernie put)Martin in july. You may not remember but we had him first as a lot of potential Tp Sgts came to us to be trained by George Tash Aven. I met Tom several times since those days. tom left the army having turned down a commission (He was WOI) went to Arabia for a good number of years instructing air cadets came back and settled down his house now paid off. After his wife s death in 95 he ended up in USa marrying a nurse he had met many years before and now leives in missouri. tom is still a keen photographer and he took all the photos for the 10 tors brochure in 1060 and 61. I shall be driving from Miexico to Missouri via San Juan Capistrano leaving there on July 5th arriving in Missouri around july 8 or 9th depending on mileage done each day (and if the wildfires in Arizona are under control) you can email me at theredcoat2@yahoo.com if you want me to pass on any memories to him He is currently regarding from ankle surgery (had an implant) I think he took over Quadrant from Harry Meekings. Reading the entries for a couple of pages it seems we have a growing contigent in Perth Australia now that mike/Mick furey is there I think the count is 4 although one did move down to Denmark on the coast..cheers Keith L Tp oct 58-Dec 1960

ok les not bruno or romulus but Quadrant I was talking to your lovely daughter in the docs on friday i assume she gave you my e-mail add. We exchanged a few experiences going back to our early early days travelling down to Newton Abbott from Darlington. I wonder how many other old (in years only) mates are living just around the corner ? Off to Bulgaria on Monday for a bit of sunshine.
