Regarding the last comment, I know that there was a section of one Troop at Scarborough in the late 1960's run by Olly (Paddy) A'hern, also a section at Mundesley, the O.C. 1 Troop at Felixstowe was Tom Moore, the W.O.2 was Bernie Wadie.

Came across your site by accident. Very interested to see all the comments and hear about MZ, Keith Burrows, John Phillips, Colin Brown etc, and glad to hear they are alive and kicking. As OC 49 Sqn from 77-80 I was also surprised to see that there was a "Troop" in Scarborough from 76-79! Perhaps Dave Watts could let me know why I wasn't aware of it. I will certainly check the site frequently, keep up the good work.

Fos, for those who knew him, just seen on the arrse website about Maj Nathan Arnison passing away at the start of this month. I knew him from the NSC and met him when I was working in Iraq. I am sure he was troop commander in EOD before the NSC. Probably the Para Troop as he was certainly airborne. Not your average officer and an excellent guy. It seems it may have been a heart attack although he must only have been in his late thirties. RIP

I'm researching the wartime service of my cousin 2056445 Spr. Andrew Kerr. I got his records from Glasgow and I'm trying to flesh out the bones.
He was with the following units
238 (H) Field Company TA in 1938.
276 (H) Field Company in 4-9-39.
26 Bomb Disposal Section 15-06-40.
11 Bomb Disposal Company 17-04-41
23 Bomb Disposal Company 28-06-43 and embarks UK 8-6-44.
He is demobbed in May 46
That is the basics I've got from his records. There are a couple of points I hope you can help me with. Bomb Disposal was that all volunteer ?He spoke about being trained as a diver by the Royal Navy and I've got a photgraph of him in a diving suit but there is nothing in records I got from Glasgow. Do you know of any other source of records?
All help appreciated

Certa Cito

Alright there everyone.

The time is drawing near for the gathering this year, the date has been set for the 12th of September at the usual time and place.

The date was chosen as it’s now 10yrs since Brad was killed, we will always try to arrange a suitable date in between when both Brad and Craig were killed, but for the big ones i.e 5yrs, 10yrs etc etc we will try to move the date closer to the respect person’s time of passing.

So, that being said get your leave passes in if you haven’t already.

See you all there.

Stay safe and keep smiling.

The little distance I did and I was panting. The bike ride is something I would have loved to have done in my 15 years in the WRAC. Good luck I wish you all the very best, I`m hopefully going to cheer you on in Shipston. Well done, You are doing a very brave and very worthwhile thing X

Just found your website tonight after trying to find an old friend. I was deeply shocked to find out that Craig Appleby had been killed some time ago. I have said many times that Craig was someone who was honest and reliable like no other person I had met. I knew him from when we did our C & J course at Chatham in 1991. The only person at Chatham who polished his boots, his brass cap badge and ironed his clothes everday! A truly decent bloke, but rubbish at Carpentry! RIP Craig.

How bad does it get? Hope there is no truth in the rumour that all EOD will transfer to RLC? That would for sure be the end of life as we know it. Sad to hear about Jim McBeth.

The Site is looking Great Foss!

Very sad to hear of the passing away of more fairly young former 33'ers...

As many know, Richard 'Dickie' Greenwood very sadly passed away last year, a Facebook Group was set up in Dickie's Memory, he was a larger than life character who was liked by all he met, the Face Book Group can be seen here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=99714315383

Keep up the great work Pete...

Regards AL...

Much improved site Fossil, keep up the good work. Seeing as my handsome mug appears in the gallery - with special thanks to Jock Forde- thought it best to jump on in. Was in 49 and then one of the chosen few to start 58, Wasn't exactly a Squadron but more like a large section back then. Was there from 83 to 92 with a short spell in 28 in between. Gallery brings back some long forgotten faces, will raid my albums and add to the collection.

Hi, I was in 22EOD during the late 80's and early 90's. Lucky enough to be in the 1st Gulf War and meet Prince Charles (nearly got bust over that). I am now a training manager working in Southampton. Does anybody know if John Ferry is still in the Army.

Hi there from a civvy who worked at 33 EOD when at Lodge Hill from 1982 to1984. New site looking good. Keep up the good work Fossil.
Taking opportunity to be cheeky and ask if anyone would donate to my old man who is doing a week long bike ride for the Help for Heroes charity. A worthy cause.
If you are feeling generous you can donate to Brian Simm (Ex Sapper) at http://www.justgiving.com/briansimm

Scoop you know the only way to understand these peoms is to drink whisky. In your comment you spelt the whiskey with an E which is the IRISH dishawater.
Good to hear from you pal, are you still in Vancouver?
As for raping our women - great as that means you don't have to share your kebab when you get home if the wife is busy.
Fossil did they have plastic in your day? Thought you would have suggested a doughnut made out of a triangular bandage rather than a plastic ring.

No scoop you know Errol never could decide which side he was on but came across to us as he preffered doing the raping instead of sitting on a plastic ring afterwards

Nice site - thanks for all your hard work.

I wonder if a jobs section or forum would be useful?

I often recruit new staff into our supported housing or construction based training projects in west kent - near 101 in Tunbridge Wells. Many posts are ideally suited to ex RE/ ex EOD and we welcome ex-services applicants. I try to post all jobs on the REA resettlement jobs board but sometimes they do not register in time.

I'm working with RBL to create 2 new posts - only open to disabled ex-servicemen or women - email me for more info.

All job adverts go on www.WestKentYMCA.org.uk - news - or top right latest news

Kind REgards to all

This is really good - hopefully this will help to get more support for the BDA and encourage folks to join in at the events. I know we are all busy people but it is so ggod to meet up with friends old and new, that the effort really is worthwhile - see photos in the gallery for evidence.
Good work Foss.
