Sunshine girl, You're obviously feeling sentimental re some of the "oldies" !. A couple or so more : Solomon King - "she wears my ring.". The righteous brothers - "unchained melody". PJ Proby - "Somewhere".

Give us some clues please.

Cheers.

How about "Harbour Lights" and "Unchained Melody"?

[geordielad]

What about Herman's Hermits? _ " Something tells me I'm onto something good!!" Cilla Black - You're my world.. They were both on the box!

[Sunshine Girl]

Yep, both of those though I think the ones I'm trying to remember are more folk songs.
Talking of "You're My World" though, do you remember all the coulpes who used to dance to that song, staring into each other's eyes?   I wonder how many of them are still looking at each other like that or went their separate ways?

Hi everyone, I have been following this forum for a while now.
I am the daughter of Sgt James (Jim) Makin, who was stationed at Haydock about 1960.
Names I remember my mum and dad mentioning
Frank Midgie
June Farnon
Earnie Ray

Dad also went to Akrotiri and Raf Cosford.

I would love to hear from anyone who remembers him or my Mother Jean.

I remember him well, he was the Sgt in charge of the guardroom. I was a mere 18 year old and thankfully never got into too much trouble to involve your dad. I know that Frank will see this and get in touch. I believe they were close friends.

Good Luck.

[aromalady]

Wow, thank you for such a quick response. Yes I saw Frank was 'blogging'
I look forward to hearing from him

My brother David was also there at the same time - he was very young too probably about your age.
He went off to Aiden
