Hi
Does anybody have any information regarding personell who worked at RAF Stradishall just before it closed in 1970. I was a SAM working both on the line and at towards the end at the navigation training side working on Dominie Squadron. I use to go with the training flights to Gibralta and others. I was one of only very few personell who was posted to Libya at the close of the airfield, I also worked on Varsities. My name is John Sullivan, if anyone can recall my name or any other information I would be most grateful.
my dad jimmy brown was stationed at RAF El Adem in 1945/46 pity i have no photos of that era as im doing my family tree he married my mother irene woodyatt in may 1947 in egypt dad never talked about the war he kept it all inside he was of irish decent and went to live in nz when he was discharged after he married my mother mum was in signals in egypt dad was a LAC and married mum at 22 anyone have any very old photos would be great to see
