I worked with a joint services outfit at RAF Hendon1964-67 - long distance air trooping and Singapore always knows as "Singers" Seem to recall Hong Kong was "Honkers"

Dont 4get you can post a message on Forces RU in the appropriate RAF Forum - worth a try. You can also post on "Lost Trails" on the British Legion site (free) and on the "Missing You" site (free) which has a RAF section

Ann try goggling RAF Cardington there might be an Associaton .

Also I'd suggest goggling the Unit in Singers where your hubby and friend served.

It might be worthwhile goggling the guy's name - sometimes amazing wot comes up!

Also if you member of Saga Zone try leaving a post on the appropriate Forum - I did way back and recently someone got in touch giving me all the data I needed on guy I was seeking

Best of luck, don't give up, I found an old mate from 1963 after over 5 years of searching.

Regards from an old Sapper

Have you tried a street search for the address you have on Friends Reunited? There might be a neighbour registered who can help you.

I have one number to ring found on 192 - no one in at the moment - hardly likely he would be on friends reunited or facebook come to that

Braken Report 5 Feb 2012 21:41

You will probably have already tried 192.com or friends reunited or an add in the local paper
