Find My Friend

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.

To ensure that requests are not displayed for overly long periods, the Find A Friend list will be reviewed at regular intervals and individual entries may be removed at the discretion of the Website Manager. If a request is removed, senders are at liberty to resubmit them.

2022-06-03 Michael Owen 28 mjandteowen@ntlworld.com Bryan Clark 27 I just wish to thank Bryan for his contribution regarding Peter Corfield in the latest newsletter. I knew Peter on and off over the years and was most saddened to hear of his death from an undisclosed illness.
2022-06-08 Brian Spurway Sqn Ldr RAF(Rtd) N/A bspur81@gmail.com Mike Hole N/A In July 1960, as a Cpl airframe fitter, I was posted to join 1325 (Dakota) Flight at Christmas Island; in the event because the British Nuclear Testing (Operation Grapple) had come to a halt I ended up remaining at RAF Changi, along with some thirty others, all aircraft tradesmen bar one: Cpl Michael (Mike) Hole who was to run the Flight's Admin Office for the single year that we were to remain at Changi. To the best of my knowledge Mike had been an Admin Apprentice; he was then in his early twenties, as was I, so my guess is that his training would have been around about 1955. I was an Aircraft Apprentice (81st Entry) 1955/58 and am now aged 83, so I would guess he to be somewhere round about 85; I realise that the chances of making contact are slight, but Hey, if one doesn't try . . . etc. Thank you. Kind regards, Brian.
2022-10-11 Paul Rowse N/A paul.rowse@sky.com Jeffery Nunley 303 Jeff Nunley was a colleague and good friend whilst serving in the P2 section at RAF Uxbridge in the late 1960's or early 70's. I haven't seen or spoken to him since so would be absolutely delighted if there was some means of getting back in touch with him again after all this time. Any assistance or advice the Association may be able to provide would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Paul Rowse, Plymouth (ex 48th entry Boy Entrant)

2023-08-24 Bryan Peter Hoare 307 bryanhoare@me.com William Beale N/A I received a message from Elizabeth Thatcher: Hello! I wonder if you can help me trace an RAF Officer who may have begun his service life in clerical administration from 1922 in either South or West Ruislip. His name is William (Bill) Beale. He retired as a [Spitfire] Squadron Leader (admin, not flight). Still based around either Ruislip or moved to the RAF records centre. Gloucester. Long shot I know but would be grateful for any help. Many thanks.
