St Athan B&W from Alex_0002
These photos were sent in a series of small envelopes to Alex Crawford, in his capacity as MRA Reunion Organiser c/o Shap Wells Hotel, all within a A5 M&S brown envelope with no covering letter in July 2002. The main clue as to their origin is that one of the smaller envelopes clearly has LAC Ron Parmenter St Athan MRT written on it, Ron had died in 2002 and it is surmised that Ron’s NOK were forwarding them to the best address they could determine. Another of the envelopes is marked RAF St. Athan MRT. Ron served in the RAF Madeley MRT and then moved with the team to RAF St. Athan in 1947. Most of the photographs are small, some only an inch square so in scanning them there has been some loss of quality. The 6 B&W negatives in the envelope marked LAC Ron Parmenter St Athan MRT were kindly converted into high quality digital images by FS Graham Sharp NCO i/c photo section at RAF Marham to whom we are most grateful. If you can identify any of the Troops in these photos do please use the Comments box below to add their names.
