The 'Introduce yourself' Thread

Welcome Brian.

Since Wainfleet was a WW2 range - which is what we are exploring - and you were working there in the early '50s not a lot would have changed so you knowledge of details and operation will be most useful and welcome in our range threads.

I worked on an RAF sea range in the Malaya in the early '60s where the set-up was to UK pattern and operation but there were a number of differences there compared to UK.

Hello everyone, many thanks for responses. Once I get the writing knocked into shape I will get back with what are essentially personal reminiscences of the 1950s. Somebody wrote and I quote "Wainfleet was 'loused' with Canberra's. It was but there were also many instances of Vicker's Varsity a/c from, I think, BCBS (Bomber command bombing school) at Bassingbourn who spent long periods over the range dropping twenty four bombs,(25lb smoke/flash) one at a time, these were a real drag. Cheers for the time being. Brian

hi all just thought i would shout hello as it seems to be the thing to do

HELLO:-D

G'day lastlightning... welcome to the forum.

Hi all, I'm Rob I found this site while searching for something else, Well I'm 40 years old and back in March 1995 while living in Sunny Weymouth, I started to research Spitfire Squadrons that flew from RAF Warmwell, to cut a very long story short I picked 152 (Hyderabad) F.Sqn, & I'm still doing it to this day.

Cheers
Rob.....

Thanks for the welcome, Oh yes very happy with my choice, over the years I've had the pleasure of meeting loads of Ex-members from all over the world. Most have sadly pasted away, but I will always remember them & running my site keeps their memories alive for future generations.
