 About
Lascaris Association. |
|
Welcome to the Lascaris Malta
Association which was founded in 1989. Originally known as
Lascaris (Malta) Communicators Association, it was formed to
re-unite Communicators who worked at the Commander in Chief
Mediterranean Fleet's Communications Centre in Lascaris
buildings. Staff were based in Camarata Barracks, H.M.S.'s
Ricasoli, St. Angelo and Phoenicia as well as WRNS Communicators
living in Whitehall Mansions.
It became obvious that no
exclusively Naval Association existed for former Naval personnel
who had served in Malta. In recognizing this need the
Association was broadened to incorporate ALL Royal Navy branches based
ashore in Malta including Fleet Air Arm personnel based at
H.M.S. Falcon / R.N.A.S. Hal Far. Recently the Association, in
addition to RN personnel, further extended eligibility to RAF,
Army & Crown personnel who served in Malta up until the British
departure in 1979.
