Remember Dave Munkley?
My ex brother in law - but still my kids' uncle - lives in Milton Keynes now, last I heard, and that was a long time ago, he was commuting to S Wales daily, flogging videos in some market.

Ah - I may have it wrong - could've bin anti tank pl - definitely one or the other. But in the right period anyway - Blonde haired guy, a bit chubby - from S Wales - Bargoed rings a bell.
He left in Lemgo - G1098 storeman. His nickname was 'Jackanory' - could elaborate on that, but not here!

There is a picture of Dave Munkley in the photo gallery with Terry Fox, Tom 51 and myself. We were in the Bahamas on our way to Belize with the Anti Tanks(Conbats, I think, is what we were using at the time)

Some of the names mentioned bring back memories. Was Dave Bilton a mortarman?
Alun
Not and never been a mortarman myself , Anti tanks ( Ex Vigilent, done the course, anti gun (all) and finally Milan) I can always remember the "rum" lot in the Mortars. To name a few yourself, Pete Dagnall, Ted Tudor, Doug Pope, Mike Salway, Carl Rowlands, Bob Bennet, Even Ray Jasper and John Lewis 04. They were the days.
