Paddy Hyde passed away on 13th May 2016.

I served with Paddy (22776032) in many locations and he was a lifelong friend right from our days in Beverley until he left the Corps in 1977, and then throughout our civilian life. He lived at Pimperne near Blandford and his daughter Angela was married to a Royal Signals officer until her husband's tragic death.

Paddy was always an accomplished sportsman excelling in Corps hockey and cricket.

Paddy was an excellent technician too, especially on automatic telephone exchanges. We were not only together serving in Catterick on a number of occasions, but he also served in Singapore at the same time as me, plus in Oman, Cyprus, and Iraq.

I for one will miss his friendship and comradeship.

Our condolences to Gloria, Angela and Tony.

Paddy, you will be sorely missed.

Signalman Jakes, 2602820. Born 24/07/1925, Died 15/04/2016. Special Communications Unit No.3, Royal Signals, 1945 to 1946.

In 1943 he reported to SCU3 at Arkley near Barnet and was one of four dispatch riders collecting intercepts from all War Office locations and taking them to Bletchley Park.

He was very proud of his time with the Royal Signals and of his medals, including the Bletchley Park Commemorative Medal.

Sadly missed by his wife and family.

I have just heard the sad news of the death of Martin Gray.

Martin and I served together at 225 Signal Squadron, Langeleben, between 1969 and 1971. We were next door neighbours in private hirings in Wolfenbuettel. Martin was a R Sigs Technician, and as well as serving at Langeleben I know he was also in Singapore, having been posted there direct from AAC Harrogate (probably around 1967). Martin finished his Army career as a Sergeant and left the Army, probably around 1976.

Martin was a person who was always able to look on the bright side and find positives. He will be sorely missed by his friends and family.

RIP old chum. Certa Cito.

Mike served in the Corps between 1964-1987.

I served with Mike in both 200 and 244 Signal Squadrons. I will remember him for his great sense of humour and his willingness to help and guide me.

I can remember an incident when, whilst refueling a Mk 1 432, a can of petrol caught light. The new sprog threw the can away, which unfortunately landed in the back of the P.O.L. truck. I and many others ran! Not Mike: he calmly climbed into the truck and drove it away to a safe distance. Climbed out and proceded to put the fire out. During his efforts his NBC suit became a charred mess. After this he stripped what was left of his suit off and went to report the incident. Unfortunately on his way to see the O.C he was seen by the SSM who tore a strip off him for being incorrectly dressed!

Mike did not boast of his heroics nor make excuses he simply, and with great dignity, handed the remnants of the suit to the SSM and said, "Mine as been burned, Sir. I will replace it at the SQMS."

But that was Mike. He did not make a fuss or a song and dance about a situation. He quietly got on with the job and did it well.

My thoughts go to Thelma and his family.

Stand Easy my old friend.

Sadly my dad passed away on the 5th of January after his year long battle with cancer. He was still a fighter and was still my hero until the end. He leaves behind his loving wife Alma, his eldest daughter Melanie and husband Andy, and youngest daughter Melissa and her husband Alan and Keith's only granddaughter Katie Anna.

My dad joined the armed forces in 1965 and served in a few different places, starting off in RAF Laarbruch, W.Germany around 1972, RAF Rheindahlen, 259 Sigs and 262 Sigs in Cyprus from 1979-81, 11 Sigs and 28 Sigs in St. Tonis, W.Germany from 1983-87.
