Message 1 - Ralph Rayner

Posted on: 24 November 2005 by paul_i_w

I wondered if it might be possible to get in touch with Ralph Rayner?

Someone who knows him, Bob Seth, has passed his name on to me a few weeks ago. I would like to talk to him about his time in 149 Assault Park Sqn. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Paul
