Dave Lee - 3 Para?
For no other reason than the heat and humidity here in West London prevents me from moving my arse from this chair, I was wondering if anyone knows Dave Lee?
He was a Cpl and my instructor in 1988 at Depot Para, Aldershot. He might have been 3 Para because he seemed to know my uncle (Pip Hall) from 3 Para very well. I was curious as to what he was up to now as he sometimes crops up in conversation when I recount a story or two from my brief time at Depot.

Hello,
The name sounds familiar because I, like yourself was at Depot Para in 1988. I was hattached, and was posted there with a view to transferring to the Reg. 530 platoon I think I was, Queripel block.
I didn't last long mind, a month. Can't remember any of the instructors.

I think my timings are a few months out. I joined 530 in about August '87 i think after being in jail at Depot Para during summer leave.
Dave Lee(i think) was RP with Nick Maudsley.
I think Nick went on to run Pegasus Press a few years later.
Percy Roach was maybe at that time i/c of re-training, I think 530 done an airborne advanced Wales that year as well from what I remember.
Maybe 530 passed out in '88. I'd left by then.

Nick Mawdsley is my uncle and was already running the press when I was there 87/88.
Cpl. Dave Lee was definately my section commander and our platoon instructor along with Cpl. Muspratt (sp?) and Sgt. Owen. You know what, I can't even remember the platoon number!!! I know the pass out was the 2nd half of 88.
