Here They Are

The "Where Are They Now" is very successful but some members have indicated that they would like their email addresses to be notified to the world so that they can be contacted if you knew them and have lost touch.   As usual, send me the details but I must add that other people see these pages and you may get junk email, or visits from the Inland Revenue, VAT, CSA etc.  So only request this service if you are sure you are whiter than white (can I say that?).  Well we did wear the white hats so we're the good guys.

Janet Browning would like to contact friends that she and her late husband Dave knew whilst in the RAFP.
 
Janet can be contacted at:  janet.browning@tesco.net
