As someone has put up a picture of compo the mt pleasant
tanker pool cat up, i would like to see if he is still alive and well. I
had the pleasure of meeting him in 96 .The pic was 98. so its possible
he's still going strong. (He should have his own website) so of anyone has been there at a later date or even now email me.
Why are you interested in that cat i here you say???
Well he was the only "pussy" I "stroked" in 4 months.

Hi Guys,
Another couple from the archives. The first was taken in the 1950s at RAF Cardington The Balloon Unit. I am on the left in front row.
All M.T.drivers.
The second was taken in RAF Gan 1972, The M.T. Section relaxing.
..................reminds me, must book a holiday, Ian.
When I read the latest readings, it is making me feel old. How about a special page for members that have been out of the RAF M.T. Trade for more than 25 years. Just a thought. A lot of our readers are in this age range.
keep up the good work

Hi
Bill, we must have met someplace in the dim and distant. I
enclose a few pix you may wish to laugh at - more to follow
when I get it together.
The first shows LAC Bill Goodwin, SAC Andy Arnold and (sadly
deceased) Cpl Mat Peart at Linton awaiting the arrival
of the AOC in 1978. The second shows AVM Peter Bairsto
("The Bear") asking SAC Arnold if he's already had several
cups of tea that morning. A stupid question
really...............
Regards Andy Arnold
(still MT - as a civvy at Digby!)
