Carried forward: I first met Jim Wilson at the a Patrol Headquarters Portsmouth. In those days there were at least thirty Leading Patrolmen (now Leading a Regulators) on the Staff.
Jim was a great sportsman always willing to take part in any sport or activity representing the HQ’s.
He had a terrific sense of humour and was an excellent team player in every respect, especially in a ‘ bundle/ punch up’.
We also served together at The Royal Naval Regulating School where we were both Instructors. We had a running rivalry over the course average marks scored by our students.
I can see him now always immaculately dressed both in uniform and otherwise.
Jim lived in the Mess but would often pop in the Whale Island Regulating Office when I was the Duty Regulating Petty Officer and we would have a laugh and joke about life.
Jim also served in The Fleet Mail Office in Singapore where he worked in the Registered Mail Cage. He always spoke very highly of Bob Hopson-Hill the FMO. It was a job I always considered to be among the very best in The Regulating Branch.
Jim was a credit to the Branch and was very well respected as the Master at Arms of HMS Juno.
Throughout all of this and since he was loved and fully supported by his wife LIZ and their children – Derek Lawrence.
Carried forward: Myself, Jim, Brian Williams and Derek Lawrence were all instructors at the old Regulating
school, 1969/70. Donkey Bray was the school Jaunty and Hopson Hill was the training officer.
Brian and I were promoted to MAA, during that time and Derek went on to become a Lieutenant SDREG.
JIM was a real nice guy – Phil Le Houx.
