No mate to be honest I cant seem to navigate that site, seems to be one big mish-mash of posts with no pattern, Nige? I thought they called Pete Beighton? Incidently, 3RTR seems to have vanished off the bottom of the forums list?!?

Incidently, 3RTR seems to have vanished off the bottom of the forums list?!? Definately Nige Butler. he was actually C Sqn along with his brother 'Snake' Butler who, was as mad as a ship's cat!!! I got to Fally summer 76, C Sqn had not long been back from Dungannon themselves IIRC. On moving to Tidders the usual call for volunteers was put out, I volunteered as I'd done some NI training at JLR as guys from 13/18th were going straight to NI............at 17 yrs old mind!!!!! Didn't get called for. Nige, IIRC, volunteered along with Pete Shelldrake and a couple others. Yer other photo...............are you sure that's Les Lynch RIP? ?? Arrse You are registered aren't you? Did S54 give you the access to 3RTR 'under the camnet'? As, well, we're still there!!!!!!
