If you have any details of Past Members of the Troop who are no longer with us,
please let me have them and I will post a notice on this page.
Mervyn "Taffy" Roberts
I am very sorry to report the passing of Mervyn in June 2017. Mervyn was a
founding member of the very first MCDT when with 31 Training Regiment RA.
​
Mervyn was very proud to be a founding member of the Team, and spoke
often of his time with the Display Team.
​
We send our deepest sympathy to his Granddaughter Megan and all the family.

Michael (Ginge) Redman
1949 - 2017
Aged 68
It is with sadness that I announce the passing of Ginge Redman on the
23rd November 2017. He had a brief illness and passed away at the
William Harvey Hospital.
​
Ginge never married (A confirmed Batchelor) and lived with his brother
David in the family home in Chartham, Kent.
​
He was a member of the MCDT from 1974 - 1977. All who knew him
will remember him with great affection.
​
Ginge's funeral took place at Barham Crematorium, Near Canterbury
on the 15th December.
​
We send our sympathy to all of his family at this sad time.

Tom Grant
I am sad to report that Tom passed away on the evening of the
22nd January 2023 after bravely bearing a short illness.
​
Tom severed in No2 Display, and later on in the MCDT. He was a
very popular member of both teams, and a good friend to many.
Tom's parent unit was B Troop, 32 Minden Bty RA.
​
Tom served in the Metropolitan Police from 1979 - 1990.
​
Tom's funeral will take place at 15.00hrs at the Hurlet Crematorium,
Glasgow Road, East Renfrewshire.
​
We send our deepest sympathy to all Tom's family, especially
his Daughters Andrea, Sheena, Francesca and Kat.
