Colin Raper

[Ianmac]

We have been informed that Colin Raper who served onboard Lowestoft c1970 - 1972 as a L/Sea RP1 ‘crossed the bar’ on the 21st August 2009.
Although I didn't serve at sea with him, I knew Colin briefly from my time at Dryad and he was a really nice guy and a very professional RP who went on to be a Helo Controller.

So sorry to hear about Colin Raper 'crossing the bar.' We were in the same mess on Lowie and he was a really great guy and was a great Leading hand when we were duty watch together when we visited many ports during our duties as Stanavforlant. I do remember him having to fly home from Bermuda in 1971 when his father suddenly passed away. RIP dear shipmate.
