MAD MARY
This was the nick name of Compton Bassett legend, Flt. Sgt. Burns, who served there from around 1954 until the station closed in 1964. She was in charge of the Airman's Mess and produced the best meals by imposing a high standard of discipline on the thousands of trainees who passed through No. 3 Radio School.
My question is, what happened to her? A similar question posted on Service Pals about four years ago resulted in just one suggestion which stated she was last heard of in Hereford. However, it wasn't clear if she was posted to the RAF station or had retired to that location.

(I'll never forget Morse Code) & had a great 12 months there as a National serviceman but looking at the now "city" of Salalah it bears no resemblance at all to the barren place it used to be - I am amazed.

RAF/Royal Signals
I and two of my Royal Signals colleagues were serving in Munster in the October of 1953, when we were selected for a special job. We were separated from other members of the Regiment and after three months’ training, were sent, for further training, to two RAF units, the first at Buckeburg and the second at Puttgaden, both in Northern Germany. During these three months (from January to March ’54), we three were ‘seconded’ to the RAF and had, inter alia, the singular honour of operating a “Wurzburg” radar system. At the beginning of April we were sent to Austria in advance of the creation of a joint RAF/Army Detachment in which we served until the end of the year, rejoining our home Regiment in January 1955. It is just possible that someone who was based at Buckeburg or Puttgaden might remember the three Royal Signals ‘Caballeros’ who appeared in their midst for a brief time. If so, I’d be delighted to have them contact me via your website or whatever.

Jimmy McKie Heron
My dad, James (Jimmy) McKie Heron (of Irvine Scotland) was a wireless operator in RAF in WW II stationed out of Uxbridge Middlesex and others. Dad trained British RAF wireless operators for 1 year in Medicine Hat Alberta during the war as well. My dad passed away April, 2000 from cancer. He had written a book, yet unpublished called Angels san Halos. A fiction tale (loosely based on his experiences) of an RAF man in WW II.
If anyone remembers him and has a story to tell it would be greatly appreciated. I will be adding these to a scrapbook I am making for my mom's upcoming 85th birthday.
Also I was wondering if anyone knew and/or served with Mr. Robert (Bob) Robertson RAF during WWII? Bob originated from Yorkshire England and saw extensive duty in North Africa.
Any information would be greatly appreciated for our family tree/scrapbook.
Regards,
Valerie Heron

1st Yatesbury (RAF) Rover Crew
Whilst serving my training period as an Air Wireless Fitter from October 1954 to June 1955, I was fortunate to join the 1st Yatesbury (RAF) Rover Crew and participate in the many activities.
Sorting through some old papers, photos, etc recently, I came across an old hike report for my initiation into the Rover Crew, dated May 14/15th 1955. The two recruits were myself and Fred Frater and we were accompanied on this hike by our two sponsors - Clive Putner and Elwyn Greenwood.
Are any of three guys out there - or any other Rover Scouts who were at Yatesbury during that period? it would be great to compare notes again.

We had a joint Operations with the Australians, RAF and different Navy Squadrons flying a mixture of aircraft... The Aircraft I am most interested in is the Shackelton that had markings of 205 on the side with a Large Letter C on the Nose...
mostly out of wondering where they were stationed and more about that group or Squadron that flew at that time... Again there is a video on YouTube that shows the Shackelton on the ground and taking off at Sangley Pt. Phillipines... if you would like to correspond about the aircraft and time I would be happy to exchange information.

Can anyone remember my husband Ken Gibson?
He was stationed at RAF Hullavington from 1949 I think, until about 1952.
He was a radio/signals operator ( and instructor ) in Lancasters (No:149 Squadron) with, I believe the Air Navigation School.
We are anxious to contact anyone who may remember him, or who served at RAF Hullavington during the same period - he remembers "Sid", and David Ingalls who married Beryl a local Chippenham girl! He used to date a girl called "Val" a friend of Beryls. We have photographs of that period but, unfortunately no identifications!
In hopeful expectation,
Marril Gibson

RAF Cranwell
I would very much Like to hear from anyone, man or woman who served at West Camp RAF Cranwell, particularly signals, from early 1949 to mid 1950. I was a telephonist serving in the telephone exchange situated in the Administration Block. I arrived as a callow A/C.2 and became a LAC after a trade test at RAF Chigwell. The Signals Officer was Fl/Lt Whalley and a civilian day supervisor name of Sid Peach also worked there. The teleprinter room was right next door and I often did duty as Signals Traffic Clerk. I remember a A/C named Larry Bazen who went to the far east, I think Hong Kong and we used to talk on the tie lines during night duty. He was a good friend and there was a fellow mate called Mo Baker. I was of course National Service and was demobbed at RAF Kirkham (Now a HM Prison) near Blackpool on 27th April 1950. I regret leaving to the present day.
The Exchange equipment consisted of two banks of ancient CB9 (dolls eye) units.
Part of the daily routine was to test the crash alarms for South Drome. The aircraft in use were Percival Prentice basic trainers and North American Harvards or Texans advanced trainers. I recall the death of Flt Cadet Sergeant Black, the stepson of Lord Teddar who crashed a Harvard whilst on an aerobatic mission somewhewre near RAF Waddington.
There was a NAAFI Club on the boundary of South Drome, one of the few NAAFI Clubs on RAF stations. The RAF College Band consisted of many regular musicians supplemented by some National Service musicians. I recall several leaving on demob and appearing in Geraldo's orchestra the following month so they must have been good. The Bandmaster was a W/O Bangey.
I enjoyed my stay at Cranwell and recall Lord Trenchard visiting to take the salute at a Wings Parade. I left and joined the police when demobbed because of the appalling treatment then meted out to National Service men. I bitterly regret leaving and should have stuck it out because things change and I hated being a policeman.
I am now 76 and live in retirement at Warminster, strangely enough only a stones throw from where RAF Compton Basset used to be and where I trained as a telephonist.
I sat and passed my LAC board at RAF Chigwell (before they decided to give them out with the cornflakes) I served as 3115978 LAC Barnes F.A.
I would very much like to hear anything of interest about Cranwell (not all of us were apprentices)
I think the salutory lesson to the authorities is that they should have been a little kinder to the young men of those days. It is possible that many would have stayed on to distinguish both themselves and the RAF in general. They must show up quite well against what is currently on offer.

I would like to trace an RAF pilot who was stationed at RAF Lossiemouth circa42/43, who was befriended by a local family by the name of Cowie. I only have scant details of him, believed Sgt. Pilot, thought to have led his crew back across desert after crash. Worked on ATC at Lossiemouth. Was known as 'Nicky' Nethercotte, but this may not be the correct spelling of his name as there are a few variations. He left 'Lossie' prior to Arnhem operation and may have been involved with gliders.

No 514 Squadron
Hi! My name is Wendy Flemming.
I live in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, Canada
I have spoken to most of you at one time or another and we share the special thread in that we all have an interest in RAF 514 Squadron.
My Dad, Ross Flemming, was a Navigator and was stationed at Waterbeach when he met my Mum, Mary Frances Beddison ( who was a WAAF there). They fell in love and were married on September 7, 1944 in St. John the Evangelist Church in Waterbeach.
They never spoke much about their time in the Air Force, but I was always very interested. They have both passed away now, Mum in 1977 and Dad in 1997.
Early in 1997 I purchased my first computer and started researching 514 Squadron.
I now have a database of 250 names and recent addresses of fellows who served with 514. I have helped numerous fellows find their crewmates from that time in their lives and the sound of their voices when they have met an old friend – is my reward.
Included in this database are approximately 15 fellows in and around the Vancouver area deno11@shaw.ca
