Grief! That's brought back some memories!

Bob Baker was my Best Man back in 1968. We were at Fairford together on the the C130s when they re-opened it to house Concorde.

Then for a short while in 1971 Bob was at Scampton whilst I was at Waddington. Then he was posted out to Goose where he married Gloria. Last time I saw him was way back in 1974 when we we down to Saints to visit them. Then we lost touch. I'd love to get back in touch with him...

Hi Dan,

Unfortunately Tony has had no contact with Bob B. since he left Goose Bay in 72, so the search goes on.

I was able to tell him Bob had married Gloria whom he knew way back then.

Well, if you really want to find him you will!
I know there are sites out there dedicated
to helping ex-military buds refind each other.....
