The following requests have been made to help find a friend. If you can help then please contact the person who made the request direct by E-mail. It would be appreciated if those making requests would get in touch with the site administrator at administrator@rafadappassn.org if attempts to find a friend are successful. It is worth pointing out too that the Membership Secretary may be able to help those trying to contact a friend should a contact e-mail address listed on this page prove to be incorrect. Needless to say it would be helpful if seekers still trying to make contact could notify me of any change to their e-mail addresses.

2023-12-06 Geof "Jesse" Jmes 301, RAF Halton, 1964 geoffjames1948@gmail.com David NEEHAM 301 We were Administrative Apprentices (Medical) at RAF Halton in 1964. After passing out, we were posted from Halton, to RAF (Hospital) Wroughton. We became good mates at Wroughton. Dave came from near Barnstable. We went there when on leave from Wroughton. I last saw Dave in May 1965. I have always wondered about Dave and what he did with his life. I have been trying to find him for some time, but with no success. I now live in Queensland, Australia. If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it greatly.......Geof James
2024-04-23 James Fagan 306th jamessfagan@duck.com Anyone from the 306th Clk Secs 306th I recall all of the names but understand that some have passed over. After Hereford I was posted to RAF Waddington where I met my first wife. Anyway that followed by joining the Attestation gang based at RAF Stafford which I think was the start of my disillusion with getting any promotion. So I stuck it out until 1973 and paid the £250 to get out. To be honest it was the right decision and I have never looked back. I'm now retired with my second wife here in Somerset and I recall Derek Bunce as he was two beds down from me. But are there any other Clk Secs out there from the 306th?

2024-12-21 Paul Rowse N/A paul.rowse@sky.com Jeffrey Nunley 303 In the late 1960's and early 70's I worked as a P2 clerk at RAF Uxbridge along with a good friend and colleague named Jeff Nunley who I would very much like to contact again for old time sake. I'm fairly sure that the Jeff Nunley I knew was an ex Boy Entrant or Admin Apprentice in the mid 1960's and would, I think, have been posted to Uxbridge sometime before I arrived there from Aden in January 1968. I wasn't an Admin Apprentice myself but did train at RAF Hereford as a 48th entry Boy Entrant in 1963/64. If there is a chance that he was the Jeff Nunley featured here as an ex 303 Admin Apprentice I would be very grateful for any information that could assist me in making contact with him again after a gap of over 50 years!! Many thanks ...Paul Rowse

2025-06-06 Paul S G Adans N/A paulsgadams@me.com Bob Danes N/A I am a RAF Sqn Ldr (Ret’’d) and, as a student at RAF Valley in 1967, I had cause to eject from a Gnat overhead RAF Valley. The winch man who picked me up was Bob Danes and I subsequently renewed my acquaintance with him at RAF Leuchars in the 80s when serving as an exec on 111 Squadron. I have come across Bob’s entry relating his early RAF career as an AQM and was wondering if there is any way I can get in contact once again. Any assistance in this respect would be welcome.
