OK its just a simple Guestbook for now, introduced as the space for comments under photos is limited. Rules. 1. Posts must be in English (the odd Maltese phrase allowed) 2. No obscene, offensive, or defamatory comments. 3. Offenders and Spammers will be thrown off Dingli Cliffs. Email addresses if entered are visible only to the Webmaster. If you wish to contact an old schoolmate directly, just ask and I will relay a message if I can.

Welcome Dru & Chris.
Dru, the only solution is to dig out those old photos and send them in. We rely entirely on contributions.
Chris, the list on the Reunion site is only those who have consented to appear. The full database is much bigger. You can send queries to VIV at the address given and she will also put names on the Wanted list.

I lived in Malta in the middle to late 60's and enjoyed looking through some of the photos. Sadly didn't see many people that I remember apart from some of the staff. Happy time of my life.

What a great website! I was made aware of it by Terry Bodiam (1958-1960), whom I last met in Brisbane on 6 July 2005 – forty-five years on.
I don’t remember many of the people in the photographs, but it was a very long time ago.
I pitched up at Cosford on 25 Sep 63 to join the RAF, and met a lad whose name was, if memory serves (and increasingly, it doesn’t!), Brian Connacher; he’d been in 1AM, 2AM and 3AM with me. He was not around the next morning however, and did not take the Queen’s shilling. If anyone knows of him or Rodney Martin, I’d love to get in touch with them. Neither name appears on the TH reunion site.
I attended one of the first TH reunions at RAF Northwood in 1989 or thereabouts; the only person I knew was Viv Morris, who had been my form master in 1AM, but it was a good do all the same.
Having taken early retirement – I couldn’t afford it but it was the best decision I ever made – I now live at Qawra in Malta.

Note. The address given for the Webmaster on the site is in disguise so that it cannot be read and harvested by robots. I have to do this or I get attacked with even more spam than I do at present.
All you have to do is change it to the normal format using "@ and ." instead of "at and dot".
Quite simple really, even science students should be able to manage it!

I was at Tal Handaq from 71-75 (back in uk for 6 mths when Mintoff threw us out. Maiden name was Hessell, my sister was Elaine and brother Alan. Anybody know where Hazel and brother Dave Ansell are as well as Louise Cruikshank, and anybody else that knew me. I'm not as annoying now, honest. Would love to hear from anybody that knew us, the Hessells.
