Kev Spink A real nice lad was young Rog. I was his SSM in 658 and I also knew his Dad who was another nice bloke. I talked with Rog about him often.

Paul Hutton bad day for the corps that day, we lost 4 good blokes, i remember when brain came back to the regt, all he was talking about was the wheelie he got in the chinook, couldnt remember much else from that day, and i dont blame him from blocking it out.

Robert Nuttall Yer I remember being pulled over by a bored canadian mounty for doing a 1km over the speed limit on the long and ‘win-die road’ to calgary, there were that many dangerous bends on the highway, I lost count of all the corner shops we passed. Lol.
