Griffin this is certainly the right place, and thanks for posting this - I didn't realise it was already twenty years since this atrocity occurred.

A sad and tragic loss - rest easy lads.

I have found this posting in two places now, anyway, it still goes that we on here at least will NOT forget them.

No need for apologies Griff, better to put it on twice or more than not to put it on.

Griff, maybe I've missed it or not yet found it on any thread,, but having been with 1 at the time, I find it disturbing that there seems to be no postedword of sympathy from the regiment?

well ive never seen any such thing even on our own website , but as i said before , they coumdt take us on in a patrol so waited till we were unarmed, sorry i dint realise you were in country at that time , maybe we know each other i did have a armour buddie cant for the life of me remember his name , but he did store my air rifle and midland over and under in the hq coy armory for me, as i used to teach people cly piegion every sunday .

Griff, my various REME "crews"over the period were, Ian Gri, Bob Misk', Colin Mag', Steve Yar', Mick Wak', (you will have to try to remember their full surnames) if one of them was storing air weapons for you they certainly kept it quiet from me, not that it matters now, and truthfully, I wouldn't have given a s--t then. As for me, I was the ijuit who had a red moped that was pushed more than ridden, get the memory braincell working mate. Good luck.
