Mike /Tim heard back from the R A D C association Lt Colonel Kenny Watts died over 20 years ago They will try and follow up on John Ailken and other officer but said he would not have been LT colonel . Uniforms could be Kenny Watts perhaps house clearance after the death of another family member

1.Kenneth Alexander Charles WATT. 2. John Flett AITKEN. Watt was a Lt.Col at the time but Aitken was a Major and did not get the rank of Lt.Col until 14th Jul 1985. So it is possible that the third dental officer was also of a lower rank at the time but was later promote to Lt.Col ? Found this post on another forum : Quote:

EDIT :As the uniform has the South Atlantic ribbon with rosette it could not belong to the later officers. Quote:

Mike thanks due to date of qualifying for rosette as you said must have been one of the 3 original officers , will be interesting to see if the R A D C association comes up with a 3rd name Also asked if they knew if K .A C Watt lived in the Canterbury/Herne bay area
