HMS Raleigh: Seeking naval airmen who served in the navy with Kelvyn Cheeseman (from Coventry) between 1965 - 1974. Kelvyn was an aircraft handler in 814 squadron. He joined the navy in June 1965 at HMS Raleigh. After training he went to HMS Seahawk, RNAS Culdrose. He then went on to HMS Victorious then HMS Daedalus, at Seafield Park, Stubbington. He also spent a brief period at Brawdy, Wales around 1969. He also served in Ark Royal but are unsure of what period. Kelvyn served with Phil Plevey, Ray Ball & Maurice Everest during some of his time in the navy, but these are the only names we know of, there must be others. We are seeking anyone who knew Kelvyn Cheeseman to contact us, we are organising a surprise 60th birthday for him and would dearly love his old navy friends to join us for a special reunion at his party. Please contact Rachael or Paul Cheeseman

However, many ex Matelots came onto the Stand, read the lists we had and asked, “Why isn’t our Ship’s Association listed?” The simple answer is “We are not aware of it”.
