Hi Tony, I was in 3 troop 29 about the same time as you. It’s a shock to see me in two of your rhine photos. I used to knock about with Geordie Rowntree, Goldie, Ritchie. Memories of Bad Pyrmont and the Spelunka Bar still come to mind. Thanks for the memories…
Thanks David for the nice comment! Proud to give you back some memories!
Cheers Arnd
Hi Dave,
Fancy hearing from you after all this time ! Life was great, way back then, lots of happy memories.
Pleased to say I’m still alive and kicking and in good health (at the age of 71) and I hope you are well too.
Arnd Wobbeking has done a great job with this website, thanks again Arnd.
Keep well and take care Dave, all the best for Christmas mate,
Tony
