After a run of four days at the National Archives last week and having the pleasure of meeting four different members (too briefly) whilst I was there. I've been wondering who have you met and where? Andy We've met of course and been to the South Coast near where your Parents live and that memorable trip to France & Belgium to look at something that happened in 1940. I've also met MikeL (who took me around the old site of RAF Hornchurch) and Eddie Chandler. Have also spoken to Tomtas and PatWalker on the phone. Rob
Gerry Chester & Capt Bill - honoured to meet both gentlemen and very grateful for their help. and Im honoured to have met you too
I met Paul Reed at the Menin Gate a few years ago. However, I didn't have long to chat to him as I had a formal dinner to attend.

Wendy - been there - Christchurch - Oamaru - Dunedin - Wellington - Auckland - done all that but if you are heading home next year via Vancouver will be pleased to meet you...... Cheers
Hasn't anyone got any photos of members together then? Remember seeing one of Owen and Sapper when he popped in for a visit which was pretty cool...
I've spoken with Lofty and wtid45 on the phone and I've met Kingarthur and TomTAS. All meetings/conversations were very enjoyable and I look forward to many more in the future!
Wendy - been there - Christchurch - Oamaru - Dunedin - Wellington - Auckland - done all that but if you are heading home next year via Vancouver will be pleased to meet you...... Cheers You never know Tom we might just make it to Vancouver yet. I note that you didn't make it through Cambridge/Hamilton so looks like you'll have to come back to NZ again. B)
I almost made arrangements with two forum members for this visit to the UK, but none of them worked out. :-( OMG I was at the mil section of a bookshop today - maybe I was recognised ?? Will wear dark sunglasses everywhere hereafter.
