I have the sad news for those who remember GERRY SILVER of Taranaki Napier NEW ZEALAND as informed by letter from his wife Diane that GERRY ( 80)passed away at home on 14 Dec 2014.
I have the memory of him as an Apprentice CADET in MV RAKAIA ( 1952-54) and then SURREY and OTAKI before emigrating to NZ. He was a great guy to sail with likewise another shipmate Sub - Lt JMF PRYNNE
who as a pilot in the Fleet Air Arm was killed on a training exercise in Wales 1958 flying a SEA HAWK Jet . I am the survivor of a great team.
Gerry SILVER R.I.P.
Roger Yeatman.(81)
