URGENT INFORMATION REQUIRED DOES ANYONE KNOW THE FOLLOWING IF SO
CONTACT MICK INSHAW
good morning to you , thankyou for replying.I was hoping that someone may have known my father, or even heard of him . have been trying to find anything out about him.As have lost contact with him, since the seventies, my parents divorced by then. To put your mind at ease, no fault of my father,
my mother died last year, so i feel that looking for imformation would not cause concern for others. the last address we lived at was Hilsea naval housing. Will understand if you think you no longer want to be in contact with me assure you no bad feelings with my father on both sides. therefore would you be able to ask anyone at your ass meetings? sending you the name and service number again. John black Mackenzie.

Repulse first commission
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An End of Polaris ceremony was held in Faslane Naval Base on the 28 August 1996 with the then Prime Minister, John Major giving the final decommissioning speech to close the Polaris programme. During the ceremony a commemorative plaque was unveiled at the entrance to the Trident base.
After the ceremony a small buffet lunch was held in the "Ship Lift" and a group of "Repulsives" met together for the first time for many years. The lunch progressed to a dinner in the Ardencaple Hotel that evening and it was decided that having had such a good time, they ought to do it again in the future. So is it and the above Association was born:
| Chairman | Frank Scutt | CMEA (P) retired (frank.scutt@gmail.com) |
| Secretary | Mick Inshaw |
POOEL (P) retired (m.inshaw@lineone.net) |
| Treasurer | George Elward | CMech (P) retired |
The association first met on the 25th September 1997 at the Imperial Hotel, Barrow in Furness (The birthplace of Repulse).
The association at that time had 73 people who declared in interest in joining. We now have around 125 members and still looking for more to join.
The association has it own newsletter, an AGM and we have a reunion about every two years. Our membership fee is very small and only used for administration costs.
