    Kev,
    Do you know whether Roy Shadbolt served in 22. Knew someone of that name in the 70's and its not a common surname either!

    Hi Gil, sorry I don't know. I recall that his bio on his early website used to mention that he is ex-UK forces but he's changed the layout a few times since. Why not drop him a line and ask?

    Cheers, Kev
