Details concerning Funeral dates and places have already been placed on The Association Facebook site.We have also just found out that Gordon Macintyre Scott OBE “Crossed The Bar” on 14th March 2022 aged 96. Gordon was a WW2 Veteran serving in the Far East. He lived on the Isle of Bute but was a regular attender at The Association Reunion Weekends.

Regrettably, The Association has also found out, that our oldest surviving Member, Maurice Frank Jackson, “Crossed The Bar” on the 15th November 2018 at the age of 104. We had “lost track” of Maurice and at least we know no why.

That leaves Eric Norman Darby as our eldest Association Member aged 102 and not far behind him are Association Members JP Ingall aged 101 and Dennis Troth aged 100. Any information about any of them would be gratefully received by The Association.
