Greatworth Folk

For those of you interested, I have posted a December 1963 photo taken at Hittadu Tx Site in the Greatworth people gallery.  Although not exclusively Greatworth, several of the guys shown on this photo did serve at Greatworth, and in some cases at Edlesborough.  Some of the latter possibly also served at Greatworth as there were occasionally cross-postings between the two units.  That said, with the exception of the three riggers, the cook and the General Duties guy (and of course the 'bosses in the fromt)  all of the rest were fitters or mechanics, and I know that many remained in the HF world for most of their service so will be known to many of you.  I believe that some might also of served at Jurong Tx (Singapore) as I almost did, and I know that you did Martin.  Please browse and see if there are any old faces there.  Happy New Year all.
