Think I may have read your post before but must have been reading after a night out as I forgot to thank you. Cheers.

I couldn't find anything regarding sig rules. I run a not-for-profit community site for large families which covers parenting in general and wondered whether the following would be permitted with a link to the site... http://www.largefamilies.co.uk/images/lfuk_sig.gif I know that blatent advertising...

Hi Clown

Don't reinvent the wheel. I have sent you a PM.

Will

Cheers. PM sent.

Is there some organisation to contact or a certain protocol to follow in order to get in touch with someone? I'd like to contact someone in 3 Para but I haven't a clue how to go about it. I doubt there's a big open database for every Tom, Dick and Harry to access and I can't believe the guardroom wi...

Sorry, I don't remember him or anyone else mentioning a brother.

Nick Mawdsley is my uncle :o :D and was already running the press when I was there 87/88. Cpl. Dave Lee was definately my section commander and our platoon instructor along with Cpl. Muspratt (sp?) and Sgt. Owen. You know what, I can't even remember the platoon number!!! I know the pass out was the ...

I am having a good nose around to post if I have anything relevant or worthwhile to say

Hi Pete I sympathise with your predicament. I'm in the same boat when it comes to fledgling forums. Developing an online community is an art and very labour intensive. The main problem is that potential members are turned away by the lack of members and posts. It's a bit of a Catch 22 situation in t...

For no other reason than the heat and humidity here in West London prevents me from moving my arse from this chair, I was wondering if anyone knows Dave Lee? He was a Cpl and my instructor in 1988 at Depot Para, Aldershot. He might have been 3 Para because he seemed to know my uncle (Pip Hall) from ...

After a few hours research, I managed to find it. http://local.live.com/?v=2&sp=aN.sw6fqmgynjn0_16th%2520Ind.%2520Para.%2520Coy.___ I can't think why anyone would want an aerial photo but this link should save them some effort. It takes you to Windows Live, which is like Google Earth and you wil...

I haven't had much call to use this site, a great resource, except to announce the death of my father a few years back. Crikey, how time flies. Anyway, I have a number of sites that may be of interest to some members here. They are all very new and still a bit quiet but don't let that put you off. F...

I have been trawling the Interwebthingy to get the location of the drill hall/HQ for 16th Independent Para, Lincoln but although there a a number of references to the outfit itself, I can't locate an address. I know it was there during the seventies because my family lived in one of 5 (iirc) married...
