Jock lives in Arbroath, but no contact details.

Terry: 01643-702733, i-kelt2@tiscali.com (no idea if still current).

Joe, just been scrolling through HK photos, Jock Rea was definitely in HK. I have quite a lot of HK photos, too many to display here, if you're interested I'll put them on disc and send to you. Either put your address here or call me on 01475-272872 or 07532-132075.
