Q Alan Elliott is trying to get in touch with an ex-National serviceman who served with him in Catterick Camp at HQ Training Brigade Royal Signals from 1960 to July 1962.

Alan explains: "His name was John Young and his wife was Isabel and they lived in Penicuik. We visited them there many years ago and they made us very welcome. Due to a lost address book, I have lost contact."

He adds: "There was also a Jimmy Bogie who played football in that region and managed to get home most weekends to play. I think on leaving the army he went to work in a pumping station."

Q Mike Harrison is researching the crew of an RAF Halifax during the Second World War and is looking for help. He says: "I'm looking to find any information regarding a F/Sgt J Anderson, the rear gunner and only survivor of Halifax LK789 shot down on 25 April, 1944. From my research I know he came from Scotland and may have enlisted at Edinburgh."
