SIR – Since my letter about the HMS Collingwood Association was printed by local newspapers across the country, the response has been terrific, but I have also received many requests for a bit more help.
“Mike I saw your letter about HMS Collingwood and I did my training there, but I am looking for my mates from the Electrical Mess of HMS Rusty Bucket in the Far East in the 70s,” and more.
Well, they need look no further than the Royal Naval Electrical Branch Association, where a specialist member of the committee is collating all of the HM ships the members served on and their dates.
That association’s website rneba.org.uk is a good place to start. For details of the Royal Naval Electrical Branch Association and the next reunion, contact the membership secretary Brian Joy, 237a Tithe Farm Court, Alexandra Ave, Harrow, Middlesex HA2 9DN, or email him on navy.bj3@gmail.com. Please mention the Worcester News.
