Hi Dave, I was in the Royal Air Force Police for 22 years where I specialized in Police dog work and got to the dizzy rank of Sgt mainly running Police Dog Sections at home (UK) and in Germany. I also trained and handled sniffer dogs in drug and firearms/explosive detection in Northern Ireland. What a coincidence you being at Edinburgh Tattoo, I was there in 1992 as team manager of the RAF Police Dog Display Team, where you playing in a pipe band? Bye the way love the Hounds of Barracuda
Regards John

Hi Dave thanks for your nice comments, I got the Beating Retreat print last Xmas from an ex service mate that I stayed in touch with since demob,I was thinking what name I should go under on the treefrog forum and looked up and there it was! I have just acquired another drum off ebay its King Edward vii own Gurkha rifles its pretty impressive another one on ebay at the moment is The Gordon Highlanders which I will probably bid for. I like your new Napoleonic display with the artillery piece what make is that, did you paint it yourself?
Regards John

Excellent pics in your Album. Can I ask, one of the backdrops looks like Whitehall/Horseguards. If so is it from JG Miniatures ???

I do but I can`t cut my ship up(HMCS Preserver).
