Whilst I can't recall our paths ever having crossed, W.D. Blatch and C.S. Booth
were both members of the 3rd MOBI Intake of July 1957... May they R.I.P.

I do remember R.H. Walton, he was a Fifth Term Apprentice when I joined in July '62...

If any of our Members were associated with either of these pioneer MOBIs and
would care to share their thoughts with us, please feel free to post below...

I am sure I served with Col Booth at Bonehead College during one of my postings. From memory he was an instructor in the ME School, possibly late 70's.

Was an affable bloke with good sense of humour (haven't all MOBI's).

Rest your Oars and smooth seas Col.
