I know lots of the names you've mentioned, particularly Alvin Browning, Oliver Allen, Fred Dunstan (Curly) and Johnny Howard. I'm in regular contact with Alan Rose and in occasional touch with Oliver. I'm sure Alan would like to be in touch with you - if you want to, can you pm me your email address? Do you have any photos of people there? I have a few. Hi I only just found this site nearly all these were transferred to sandicre.would you know if Oliver Allen is still alive thanks mick thorpe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
