t RSM and Chief Clerk with four D Sqn SSMS. W02 Gardner‘ Sewell, Purvis and Palfrcyman at Capt
Robertson's wedding
At Captain Robertson’s wedding in
5 April there were four members of his
Lance Guard who have each held the
post of SSM D Sqn during this Journal
period After having been with D Sqn
‘ since it’s formation in February I984,
W02 Sewell left in December 1986 for
the fatter worms of Dorset and the
.lLR, Bovington. We wish Rose and
him the very best and an enjoyable
time there. W02 Gardner came for a
brief spell before departing to Lulworth
in February 1987t Then came W02
Purves on a whistle stop tour away
from the Intelligence Cell (He later
returned for more, this time as the Tp
Cpl of 2 Tp on Regimental training in
June!). Finally, on our arrival in
Wimbish W02 Palfreyman arrived in
his white “Shogun,"
Continuity in command has not been
in the Squadron's strongpoint this year.
Captain Reed left for Lulworth in
November, clutching a can of brasso
and a cassette head cleaner! He will
be missed by all, and we wish his next
girlfriend lots of luck! Captain Martin
replaced him and has been sighted
occasionally. usually while entering
something in the leave book. He even
jumps off bridges to avoid exercises!
The Squadron Leader also changed.
shortly before going to press, Major
Hopkinson dashed off to do something
dashing and was replaced by Major
Mackanessi
