I remember"Pinky" Walton.He was with me on 1564 Flt (Sycamores)in 1964.
I have some 8mm. film of him goingnout to the shower room - what a sight!!
I am now semi-retired but still doing a bit in aviation with a Maintenance Company, ATC Lasham, Hampshire and living not far away in Alresford, near Winchester.
B/rgds,
Alan Langford.

Hi Alan
If you knew Pinky and was at El A in 64 we should know each other, what trade were you?
John

Just spoke to Ken Patchett who also lives in Emsworth Hants, after visiting the RAF Forum 2 site.
Very nice to see familiar names again:
Jock Patrick.
Eric SKIN Skentlebury.
Tap Tapper.
FS Cockburn was our shift Boss.
Was very lucky that FS Churchill sent me to Akrotiri in May 1964, I followed Tapper who also escaped El Adem.

Would appreciate any information on Peter "Pinky" Walton. Where he is these days and if he served at Maralinga? Cheers David Corbett, Australia

Walter, you mentioned Don Lawrence as your leakiest trade boss......was this in 1962-63?.....as my father Don Lawrence was stationed in Tobruk and El Adem in those years....initially married unaccompanied but later joined by his family, me included.
