Len Yeatman MBE & Tony Ray MBE
It's more than
possible that without the persistence and hard work
of Len & Tony there may not have been an Ardent
Association in the first place.
From a simple proposal onboard the QEII on the 11 June 1982, as the survivors of Ardent entered Southampton docks, an association was born. Now over 25 years later their legacy continues and todays association is a living tribute to Len & Tony's leadership for the first 20 years of our existence. There have always been many helpers along the way but no more wonderful than their wives Beryl Yeatman and Carol Ray who have also supported the assocation from day one.
Len & Tony made their own poignant return to the Falklands in 2002 as they handed over the running of
the association to a new team. You can view their own photo story here:
