The 'Introduce yourself' Thread

I actually worked at the airfield from 1983 to 1988 with a firm called Metair. We were spraying the exterior and fitting the interiors to Saab 340 short haul airliners that were flown direct from the factory in Sweden. I was involved with the interiors, and I went on as many test flights as I could (which was quite a few). Alas, the council sold the site to Rouse to be developed in the late 80s, and it has now become a bricks and mortar jungle that we see today.

Cool,thanks for the link.

Hi Mark, welcome to the forum! I did it the other way round, raised in Sussex in the Uckfield area, now living in East Anglia, near Diss!!

Hello ALL

I am a proud daughter of a late ex RAF LAC who served with the 2nd TAF 2 Group No. 314 Supply and Transport Column.

If I can be of assistance to anyone, I have a copy of this unit "Royal Air Force Operations Record Book" from D Day+1 to April 1946 from the Royal Archives in Kew. It is a daily diary of this transport unit in France, Belgium, The Netherlands and Germany. I would be happy to look up info for others.

Cheers!

Welcome to AiX Morag and thanks for the offer to share information. Logistics support was a key element in the planning of the invasion of Europe resulting in the counties of central and SE England housing massive stockpiles of fuel, ammunition, food and supplies. AiX has threads covering many related military aspects other than pure airfields so perhaps one of our members will start a new thread.
