Hi Tim
I was in training (68-71) with a Rod Birkin who I believed was posted to Army Air Corps. I was at Bulford working in the Sgt's mess one evening (around 73?)and he visited.

You may be Sgt Tim Turner, who was at the Depot, during our Production Supervisors course, around 1990. Do you remember laughing your head off at those blokes who had sprayed metallic black paint on their boots?
While they were on your Square, the paint all fell off, and we all fell about laughing, mate. Even you. You struck me as being a happy go lucky type, and I thought you were ok.

From our era; I remember the characters who were clever guys and, good people too if the truth be known.......Dave Bentley (ABDB), Dennis Cooke, Frank Tucker (my CSM), Roy English, Bill macneal, Paul stebbings, Eddie Middle, Dusty Miller, and Mr Boswell.

I hope you enjoy your retirement mate.
