Damm, I'm found out, how did you know:D;)

As it happens I'm already a Facebook friend to the 20th. I can even see a glimpse of myself in one of the photos.

Some nice nostalgic moments browsing through the photos. We were quite the rag tag bunch compared to the modern RDF.

LOL!! That's clever

There's also someone from D-Coy has pics up on flickr.
Haven't been able to find his page but did come across this random pic posted by someone else.

EDIT

Found the page with the old 70's and 80's D-Coy pics, it was right under my nose as it happens :rolleyes:
