Ground Rad...

This is an old photo of my Father (second from the left) Alan James Baxendale who was a ground radar fitter on Christmas Island during the tests.

I have no other information on the photo or who the others are but thought it might be useful...

If you have any other info it owuld be appreciated.

There is a new bulletin being printed for Nuclear Veterans and their Families.  The third issue has just been printed, if you would like copies of these bulletins send me your e-mail address and I will send them to you.   I wanted to upload them here but there are not the facilities to do so.

All the best
