Hi Oliver and welcome to the AiX. Are you joining the ARG too?

Yes I am joining the ARG, and the Archives Group, too.

May not be possible to organise an official ARG/AiX visit to Waterbeach, could be easier if people come over individually. Watch this space....

Hi Oliver,

I thought I'd PM you, but it seems I can't! Anyway, I'd love to come over because as well as visiting the airfield with a new interest, my dad was stationed there when I was a kid. We lived in the married quarters (I assume they are still there) and he was, I think, responsible for building the swimming pool!

Regards,

Dietmar

Hi Oliver Please count me in i can get any time so let me know .

Yes, I'm afraid I've switched off IM - I just don't have time at present.
As I said before you can get my email address from REF - or see the attached - not clickable to reduce spam.

Please log in or register to see it.

Visting the Museum is free of charge, please give at least 48hrs notice - however there may not always be someone available.

We are currently fundraising as the Museum has no money at all!
If you wish to see Hangars & Technical buildings a tour in my car will cost £10 per person and the visit must be on a weekday in the morning. Interiors might also be possible. Maximum of two people in each tour.
If you want see the runway or memorial garden (outside the fence) a tour in my car will also cost £10 per person and the visit must be at a weekend. Maximum of two people in each tour.
It is no longer possible to combine these two tours on the same day, as I have health problems.
Please bring cash as the museum has no bank account.
These tours are only possible in August or September 2012.

REF, Jason H & I will be posting photographs once these have been cleared by the Army.

Welcome to AiX Gerry; there is much left in Scotland to be recorded before it goes the way of old airfields south of the border so I hope that you can find time to get out with your camera. Of course, AiX covers diverse military sites too so all inputs will be welcomed.
