June 29, 2010 - In from John Nixon:
The following pictures were taken during my time in Mauritius between May 1973 and May 1975. I joined as an LREM and worked for a year at the transmitter site at Bigara, and then moved to the Comcen as a POREL to work as a watchkeeper in systems engineering. It was a very happy time for me and my family - my two sons, Philip and Christopher, were both born in the maternity unit in HMS. My daughter, Lisa, was 18 months old when we arrived. View all here

January 28, 2010 - Andy Lowe - Andy has sent in one more to trigger a few memories -
Band of 69'. Anyone you know?
January 19, 2010 - In from Andy Lowe - I have finally tracked down and scanned in some of my folks slides. I cannot put names to many of the faces but hopefully it will arouse some interest and it will unfold in time. Good to see the site is still going strong. I have made contact with quite a few lost friends because of it. All the very best for 2010. Andy Lowe ( Dad was CPO CRE Speaky Lowe stationed at Bigara). - Thanks Andy...
January 14, 2010 - In from Janice and Shirley White - We lived at flat 13 on the camp. Dad was CP0-GI, Don White or Knocker. Roy Wilkinson lived nextdoor with his family. Anyone remember the R.N. Bus which took us to the beaches and back and the sing songs on the way home? (Michelle Wilkinson (Photo 3) is the little girl on the wall.) Thanks for the pics!
January 2, 2010 - Some photos sent to me by Alasdair Ward, will get round to scanning some more and send them - Bill Downs. - Thanks Bill.
December 22, 2009 - UPDATE - Think that really is all now, (till I find some more)
Jeanette. Thanks Jeanette, Great pics, Who`s going to be the first to reply???
December 19, 2009 - More pics in from Jeanette Nugent - I think Judy Kramer was a teacher at the RN School, we all went away to Ans La Rae camp for a school trip in January 1968, as I was one of the older ones, I went as "helper" although I doubt I was much help, and I think "twisty" went as a helper also, I think his real name was Oliver, and he played the guitar, but cannot remember much else about him. The photo of Susan Richardson and family was taken the day they left Mauritius to go back to England, The women all kitted out with new outfits from the local dressmaker, I think her dad was an Officer.
Updated - December 19, 2009 - More pics in from Jeanette Nugent - I suspect these will only be of interest to those who were teenagers in 1968. Apologies if any names spelt wrongly, Jeanette.
Updated - December 19, 2009 - In from Jeanette Nugent: Here are the first batch of photos, some official, others (mine) not so, these are all featuring my dad, Bill Godley, who was the MAA in Mauritius from Oct 1967 to 1969, I don't know if you knew him, but he died in 1986, probably due to all the duty free cigarettes! - Jeanette. Thanks for the pics!
31-Oct -09 - Hi, Just a couple of pics for the minute - visit of the Army helicopter at The Chaland complex carpark - September 1968. Regards Jon Henville... Thanks Jon!
August 4, 2009 - Just in from Raymond Young -" Hi, The attached photo was taken when we lowered the flag for the last time. These are the last RN staff in Mauritious. With the exception of LRO Joe Ribaud (last on the right) all are S&S. We had been left on the island to dispose of the assets of the base. The married quarters were cleared and the contents sold by auction in the theatre. Vehicles not required anywhere else were sold by tender. The Tare system i sold as scrap to a local business man who dismantled it. The magnetic storage drums were the only things to be sent home. It was a bit strange walking around the deserted base and empty married quarters." - Brigham Young ex CPOSA - Thanks for the Pic!
December 17, 2009 - Update From Malcolm Moss-Ward:
I was delighted to see CPOSA 'Brigham' Young's photograph taken after the flag was lowered for the last time. Just to add some names, left to right the three officers are Lt Cdr Phil Periton, Lieut Richard Jorgenson and me Lieut Malcolm Ward.
I first met my wife Senior Nursing Sister Pamela Moss while in Mauritius; when we married we joined our names. Pamela was a midwife at HMS and delivered Richard and Lynn Jorgenson's daughter Kirsten. Malcolm - Thanks for the update Malcolm!
