My father was based in Negombo in 1951-52 where my brother was born.
Dad , Chri Ponting was in the Fire Section. He has unfortunately passed away. Did anyone remember Dad?
I am visiting Sri Lanka very soon, I do not suppose there is anything left from that time.

I was posted back to RAF Negombo in Ag./Sept/ 1997 from Hong Kong. I was a RTDF operator and spent my working time in the RTDF hut out on the airfield. I did a short spell on Gan Island before returning to the UK in March 58. I have lived in Exeter most of life and am meeting up next week with a fellow Exonian Ray Hall who I have
not seen/spoken to since 58. We both lived in the same part of the city for many years but never met, now thanks to face book we can recall old times and bore friend and family to death
