	Here is another face from Saxa Vord (ATC = SHETRAD) He was there with me in 1979 or 1980 but I can't remember his name. Does anyone know?

	Found him... Tony Worth. Left the RAF after his full commission and became a CAA/NATS ATCO and finished up at the Hurn College of ATC. He has now become one of my Facebook "Friends". When you read this Gordon, I did ask him about the ATCOs on your web site, especially the "Fairy Godmother" in the panto. He can remember his face but sadly, can't put a name to him yet. He is going to ask around his ATCO friends... so I'll keep you posted. Meanwhile, here is one of Tony's SHETRAD pictures... (L to R) Fg Off Dave Walker (now Air Marshall Sir David Walker KCVO OBE retd), Flt Lt Al Poole (with chin being held up), Flt Lt Tony worth (scratching his head) and Flt Lt Stu Hartley with Dawn (?) Boyd in the background.

	Hi Steve thanks for that. I have made a couple more contacts for the "panto period" and for the band pics published about the same time - just about there with names. I need to make a lot of amendments but new stuff keeps coming in (200 photos from Borneo & Saxa 1963 - 69 just came in this weekend). Also working on a number of new sections - incl a Shetrad Part 2. Cheers Gordon
