Contacting H.M.S. Lapwing Association

The Best way to obtain more information about our ship and crew and perhaps your own relative is to contact Les Edwards by Email: lesedwards@jerseymail.co.uk 
Could Stephen Rose and Lynn do this as I have had trouble in replying to their requests for details.

Our next reunion will be at Saffron Walden, Essex on Saturday 24th March 2012. Members will be staying at the Saffron Hotel from Friday 23rd until Sunday 25th March. Our memorial service will be held on Saturday pm 24th at our memorial in the Close Gardens and our official dinner on the evening of the 24th. Normally a good turnout from the local residents, Royal Navy Assoc. Russian Convoy Veterans,Royal British Legion, Army and Air force cadets and all their Standard bearers. Wonderful support. For more information please do contact me as above.

Yours in Lapwing

    My aunt gave me a home, five years after the loss of their son Reginald Frederick Bing. I never forgot how that tragedy effected their lives. I touched his name every time I visited Plymouth, on the memorial

    Hi Les, my uncle, Able Seaman Ronald Thomas Smart went down on HMS Lapwing. I would be very interested in attending any future memorial events and / or receiving any further information about the Lapwing / my uncle Ron. Many thanks & best wishes, Sarah Smart-Kamp (sarah.kamp@me.com)
