What a shock when I logged onto facebook this morning to find Chris had died after the Memorial Service. No further details known as yet, Im just glad I managed to go and see him last month after a 26 year break.

Hope he has a good time fluffing pillows up there, he always said he was POSTD to the stars. His Cabin Mate on the London left a great memory as Chris used to wind him up as he was Chief of the watch and looked after millions of pounds worth of equipment whilst on the same pay as Chris who just had to make sure he didnt scorch the skippers shirts

RIP old buddy

Former CPO GI Mike Smith 'crossed the bar' on the 1st May 2016 due to cancer.
A great guy, Mike served at Dryad as an Instructor in the early 80's with myself, Frenchy De La Haye and Jim Shepherd, he was a stalwart of the GI's Association, serving as their magazine editor for over 20 years also devoting a great deal of his time to raising money for charities. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
RIP Mike.
