Hi all.
I came across this site and topic accidentally and was amazed when I recognised the name Cpl Alan "Jonty" Batey RNF.
I was wondering if anyone could cast light on an incident which he was involved in, when helping a mate when they came under fire whilst on patrol.
I was in the forces myself although it was the RN and we stopped to refuel in Aden in 1966. After I returned home from the Far East my mother said that Alan (My mum's cousin) had been involved in a pretty dangerous situation.
After we both demobbed Alan and I bumped into each other on occasion but never discussed it - probably through my forgetfulness - and I don't have a clue of his whereabouts.
I'd be grateful for any info.
regards
Tiffy
