I AM trying to trace former members of No 848 Royal Naval Helicopter Squadron, which pioneered the work of airlifting troops in the Malayan jungle from December 1952 to December 1956.

In recent years, many have been traced and an 'all ranks' reunion is planned for later this year.

Anyone who served or has information on anyone who did, should please contact me.
