I do not know about any "official" reunions at 48 Sq but we have met up a few times for a piss up. We did so with Pete Easy's silver wedding anniversary, then a group of us got together in 2004, 2008 and last October.
Ginge (Carl) Burton was there and I believe he even mentioned your name. Joe Booth and Joan Easy (Pete's wife) are talking about a proper reunion. Since I live near New York (and not the other 'York'), I'll be happy to give you contact info.

How's it going Harry, me and Bri Wareham see each other about every week, he only lives down the road, as Marlon said we had a meet up about three years ago and we got there along with Twiggy, there was one again last year but I was away. We lost Jimmy Riddler and Ray Alison a few years ago Des Quinn last year and Tiny Field passed away on New Years Eve.
I've put a few pics up on the site and I've got a few more to do. I'm seeing Barney in a couple of weeks and he's in touch with Mick Sindel so with a bit of luck there might be more that you think up for a reunion.

Had half an hour sat in the sun outside Pete's house yesterday having a chat. I told him about this site but he doesn't have internet.
He said to remember him to you both. Got chatting about Dad Leonard.

Hello Harry I was in Aden 66/67 and returned to Ripon, I remember Brian Wareham and Twiggy, it was Twiggy who tought me cribbage. After Aden I went out to Gib with 2 troop and I knocked about with Pete Adams. I was Sqn medic for a while before the Sqn went out to Anguilla.
