| Bob Davidson's details |
Chris and me became best oppos on the cruise 68/69 on hms bulwark [ affectionately known as the rusty b ] both being airy fairies flight deck duties. we both covered ships land rover drivers as well which in those times was a great number, it also meant a blue watch card meaning we could go ashore anytime. !!! our skipper at the time captain john templeton cotthill was filmed as were the ratings by yorkshire tv, showing modern day operating conditions aboard a warship. the film called captain rn 1969 was aired whilst we were at sea. chris was my best man january 1970, and i returned the favour later that year. we lost contact and all my efforts to find him failed, until i spotted his details on forces reunited page a few weeks ago. fantastic, we have been in contact and are due to meet up in a couple of weeks time after41 years of loosing contact. just being back in touch again, and with my health problems, we are both over the moon to think after all these years we are in contact again. keep searching everyone, you never know, you probably will find someone from way back in your past. thank you forces reunited.
