| I have just recently joined the Southend Branch as a associate member as I was in the Merchant Navy, but I like to think I am keeping up the tradition of my Father who served in the R.N from 1929 to 1945. After the war he became a member of the Ilford Essex branch of the association which held it meetings at the Valentine pub Gants Hill I wonder if any one remembers that branch. | |

1. My name is Alvin Chee Chong Beng. More than 32 years or more has passed by, this is what I can remember.
2. I was a Malaysian Navy Artificer Apprentice - OEA who joined HMS Fisgard in 1972. Class of 722 P at an age of 19+.
3. I think it was in April or early May 1972. I was allocated to Frew Division and the PO App in charge was Mike Sawyer.
4. I spent a year at HMS Fisgard, before I was posted to HMS Collingwood for further training - Lt. Crouch Baker was my DO in 1973/74.
5. I then spent a Year at sea onboard HMS Blake which was on the Far East Deployment group in 1974/75.
6. I returned to HMS Collingwood, in 1975 to finish my Final training, I was living in 2nd Floor of Jutland Block.
7 Subsequently I went to HMS Excellent for Surface Weapons & HMS Vernon for Underwater Weapons training before returning to HMS Collingwood.
8. In late December 1976, I flew back to Singapore to rejoin the Royal Malaysian Navy. I spent a total of 4 + years in the Royal Navy.
9. Attached is my current photograph. I shall be 55 years old this February.
10. I am looking for my ex-classmates, who were with me at HMS Fisgard or at HMS Collingwood, to get in touch to share, good old times & stories.
11. Anyone wishing to get in touch with me can reach me at compudoc@singnet.com.sg.
