John (Taff) Roberts update. For all those who enquired about his current state of health - spoke to him today - he has had big problems with his eyesight due to cataracts. This has prevented him travelling to the reunion. He has lost the sight in one eye but has had treatment on the other. He promises to make the next. He was interested to hear all the news. He sends his warm regards to all his old friends.

Just a short note to say how much Carol and myself enjoyed our first reunion. Bit of overload for me being the first time but already looking forward to the next one. Still breaking up after watching Ray Cardwell demonstrating his landing tecnique. Would like to thank everyone concerned for all the hard work and effort required to put this event on. Already looking forward to the next one. Kind regards to all. Jinx Wednesday 5 May2010

What a great turn out and what show by the Noddy boys. The use of indelible ink on the bodies was just to much. I have not laughed so much for a long time. Thanks to Ralph, Ray and all the team for great weekend.

Arrived home about 1600 on Monday still slightly hung over. I checked my wallet and thought I had been mugged but that's what happens when you drink with Rosie!! Thanks to all who done the great job of organising the reunion. Roll on Caythorpe! Tuesday 4 May2010 - Ryton Tyne & Wear

Just got back to a rainy & windswept Shetland, where we found that petrol is now £1.32 a litre - good job we topped-up in Aberdeen yesterday, eh? What a brilliant Reunion Weekend - well done Ralph, Ray, John, Keith, Craig, Alan, and no doubt the memsahib’s, for preparing & organising the whole show, & liaising with the hotel which gave us good service & food & drink, throughout - our sincere thanks to the OCA committee for their much appreciated endeavours. Memories? Aside from the indelible coloured ones that still adorn my manly torso, we hope that fellow thespian, Ray Cardwell, may recover soon from his poorly executed side-right, off the stage. Laugh? I nearly wet mesel'. I called Billy Irwin today - and he’s still giggling. It was marvellous to greet not only many old comrades from several previous reunions, but also a few of the “Lost Boys”, not seen for years, like Billy Haslam, Geoff (or is it Jeff?) Guy, Phil Kirk, & Colin Bradbury. In addition there seemed to be more veterans from the early Sqn years, and that was good, too. All-in-all it was a “Right Good Do” that has lifted my heart, and added significally to my store of happy memories of "The Finest Para Signal Sqn" - in the world, ever.

Just to be clear, it was Bob Griff's idea to climb over the fence at the RSPB reserve!

Our first Sqn reunion, and what a great time we had thanks to all present. Ralph, Ray and all those involved in the organisation take a bow. The camaraderie that was evident shows that "you can take the man out of our Sqn but you can't take the Sqn out of the man." It was great to catch up with "old" friends and to make some new ones. Roll on the next gathering!!!
