27 Coy / 27Sqn Any old sweats out there

[Jim Ross]

Hi anyone from the old 27 Coy/Sqn still on the go? I was there 1963 to 1967

Hi, if it was Bielefeld, I was there from 62 to 64 . Driving instructor. I also played for the rugby team which was one of the best in BAOR at the time. I left in 64 to go on an army youth team in Lichfield Staffs. Nice to see that there ars still a few around. Cheers, Tony H.

Jim, same here if it was Bielefeld I was in 27 Coy. Driver Smith 615 Think you knew Pete Cork, maybe Paddy Tynan. If it is you hope all goes well for you.

Roger.

What Barracks were you in in Bielefeld? I am trying to find out for an old member of 9 Coy. If you know and could email [e-mail] I would really appreciate it,

thanks

Hi Jim, can't admit to being in 27 Sqn, I was in the same barracks and Regiment (10 Reg't) though. Catterick Barracks, Bielefeld, BAOR, BFPO 36 (I think). All who were in 36 Ambulance Squadron RCT, as I was, swear there should have been a sign above the camp gates on Detmolder Strasse with the words ' Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here'. It was a thoroughly crap posting and I endured it from 1966 to 1969. Made some good mates though - still in touch with a few of 'em.

I am looking further back to Malaya around 1957 to 1959 as I have my cousin's Red Book who has only just died. Cfn Brian Taylor will have been REME LAD with 27 Coy, probably at Ipoh. Brian was the reason I joined the RCT TA in Leeds for nearly 6 Years before joining the Sappers for 22. I would like to hear anything known about him.
