Our entry prank was to put detergent in the Trafalgar Square fountains which created a satisfying fog of foam down London's West End and was reported in "The Sun" (photo) of Monday March 15th 1965. See Georges Brown's testimony!
Churchill's Funeral, Jan '65. A detachment near the head of the procession and routeliners.
102nd Association
At the Halton Triennial reunion in 2010 we gathered together with wives and partners and stayed at the Red Lion Wendover over the weekend 24 - 26 Sept. We all had a great time with good comradeship, food, drink and music (piping from Tom Mulholland, thanks Tom). We have been meeting approximately annually over the last 20 years or so and hope to meet up again in 2012, the 50th anniversary of our incarceration at Halton. There will be no formal meeting at the next RAFHAAA Triennial in 2013. Suggestions for format/location and/or offers of help in organising would be welcome, please comment at our group on the Old Haltonians social networking site. Any entry members who have not joined the Association please contact our secretary, Paul Hern, e-mail: hernpaul@aol.com
