82 (Para) Ordnance Company, RAOC

Max Kerley was OC of this unit

Steve Jones was 2IC, followed by Chris Blong. CSM was Gerry Paul. SSgt "Seve" Eves was a stores bloke. Other blokes were: "TC" Cummings, "Jock" McCann, "Mince" Baxter, Dave Hunter, Phil Chawdray, "Skin" Paul, Col Ellis, Chaz Taylor, 2Lt "Skin" Nunn, Eddie LLoyd, CQMS "Snapper" Snape. My memory is failing, more names to follow.

When the unit formed in April 1984 there was only a small team posted in to the accept the stores and equipment. The unit was administered by 63 Sqn RCT with Major Mike Sqiures as OC and Lt Head RAOC was in charge of the Ord element. Major Roy Southworh then took command of the company with Capt Wilson as 2i/c.

Lt Head was an error, it was Lt Richard Greathead RAOC

Served with 82AB 1990 trying to find AL Smiles and Martin Morehouse any leads

Geordie Burns, Hoppy, Phil Tiff, Kev lambert, Lucky Hutch all served plus more

Skinny, did you contact Martin or Al?

I was attached to 82 Sqdn as a wannabee officer in 1989. Never happened sadly but I recall some names if that's helpful....OC was Major Bill Wiseman, Lt Lloyd Nunn, Cpl Pettner, SSgt Shefiq. Lt Nunn offered to lend me his jacket and a spare beret (neither of which I'd earned) so I could blag my way on to a C130 from Brize Norton to Weston on the Green and jump. I was a civvy skydiver anyway but we both thought it was a dangerous idea. I did get to Brize and watched some guys from 10 Para complete their jumps course. Thank you 82 Squadron for a great summer!

WO2 Pete Learmonth was the best Sergeant Major I ever had and most definitely the best one out of the three that were there in my time serving in Aldershot at 5 Airborne
