Tommy Burns is now 89 and wonders if there are any more survivors of HMS Repulse from 1941 still around. He has photographs of that time that he would like to share. He said: ‘‘Repulse was sunk by Japanese aircraft along with HMS Prince of Wales off the coast of Malaya on December 10, 1941. There were 595 casualties.’’ Contact Tommy at herbert.burns38@yahoo.co.uk or telephone (02827) 668696.

Brian Bradley was 19 in 1946 serving with the North Staffordshire Regiment in Palestine. They were under canvas at Pardess Hanna, about 30 miles from Haifa. He would love to hear from any old mates, especially from C Company or the TM section. He has photographs and memories to share about rescuing Jewish Immigrants who had jumped over the side from ships and were then interned in camps to await processing. He was eventually posted to Egypt and demobbed in 1948.

A special exhibition is organised each year, usually in August, by RAF Ibsley historical group. Held in one of the old wartime buildings still standing at Brooklands Farm, near Fordingbridge, a full history of the base with photos and maps stories and memorabilia will be displayed.
