I have just heard from Fred (Paddy) Barr's wife that he passed away on the 6th March. He requested that there be no funeral but the family are going to hold a party on the 1st May to celebrate his life. I'll post the details when I get them. Yolande his wife has said anyone who knew him would be welcome Fred and I did P Company together and after leaving the service never met again until the 2006 reunion, and have kept in touch ever since. RIP Mate Monday 13 March2023 - Croydon

As you will know Eric (Ricky) Richards passed away on 30th Jan after a long and courageous battle with cancer. He was a real airborne stalwart and tried very hard to support all of our reunions, armistice etc. He will be sorely missed by us all. I am in touch with John Aspinall who will pass all funeral details when available which I will place on this and other means. On another matter I have been informed that Dave Harris has also passed after a battle with a brain tumor - no other details as yet and no confirmation. As you may know Dave lived in the British Virgin Islands and is married to Robbie Laing's daughter. More to follow when information becomes available. Take care.

For info:, Tom Moorehouse 216 and then 264 has moved from Hereford to the Chelsea Hospital as an inmate. I suspect that shortly, Tom might be found in the area supping the odd beer.

I am sorry I could not make Caythorpe this year and I feel suitably admonished by Chris as I am one of the fifties/sixties intakes. Hopefully I will make it next year as it is about 15 years since I last turned up. RIP Frank, you little devil, I remember your MG very well. Wednesday 5 October2022 - North York Moors
