Mildenhall and Alconbury - Cold War

I'm currently working on a series about the Cold War for BBC Radio 4 documentaries. Each edition focuses on a particular moment in the cold war, as recounted by three people who were there.

The episode I am focusing on is for is the early 1980s when the Cold War hotted up again after a long period of relative calm. American missiles arrived in little English towns like Mildenhall and Alconbury, and with them came US servicemen – and their families - in large numbers, bringing new pressures but also new prosperity. This episode is about the impact of this on one base – but also about waiting for a war that, if it comes, may be decided by actions taken in its first few minutes.

I would like to find three speakers to contribute to this episode. The casting I am aiming for is –

American who came over

British person directly involved in the base

Bystander affected by bases arriving

Each would talk about the social aspects of a large number of Americans turning up in a small English community, and then go on to talk about the impact of one of the near nuclear misses.

Please only get in touch if you’re serious about taking part. Please email me with your name, telephone number, background info on yourself and time details of the time spent at whichever American air base you were stationed in. My email is – sally.garwood@bbc.co.uk – thank you.

Chris Errey

Hambuhren

I was SAC George Vernon 4115478 stationed deep in the woods at an old Luftwaffe station in the village of Hambuhren in Germany. We were a listening station during the cold war in 1952/3 listening to Russian language and morse. I was trained first at Compton basset and then RAF withal. Wythal is no longer and is just a housing estate. I am 81 so there will not be may of us left. Does anyone out there know me?

Looking for ex boy entrants of the 43rd entry (St. Athan) and a copy of the 43rd boy entrant journal.

The Boy entrants of 43^rd entry (St. Athan) are notable by their absence. There appears to be no reference to the entry at all anywhere on the internet. We were there – honest!

In my 71^st year I would love shed some light on the 43^rd but too much water has passed under the bridge since our pass-out parade in December 1962. I have even lost all my training notes and more important, our entry journal, to an attack of “woolly bugs” whilst stationed at Changi, Singapore in 1964 to 67. The little mites got into my deep sea box in the store room of our barrack block and devoured almost everything. The journal would have helped to keep memories alive. If there are any 43^rd entry (St. Athan) ex-boys who have the entry journal and can send me a copy or a spare original if you have one it would be most helpful to put us on the map. In the interim I will rack my brain and search my old photographs to see what I can come up with. I think that I can recall a fair percentage of those in hut N13 and my fellow tradesmen but that is all – so far. Let’s put us up there.

Regards,

Don (ex D flight, 2 Squadron, 1 Wing, East Camp, RAF St. Athan.)

I've never seen him since I was about 10- away back in the 1960s. Always wonder what happened to him and his life and would love to know. Can anyone out there please help or has a connection. Last I'd been told was he was near Norwich.

Have asked of the Salvation Army to see if they can locate him or have any news at all.

I'd remembered him being a handsome charming man and would be so grateful of any news about him and to know - hopefully he is still alive and to make contact with.

In hope

RAF Hucknall 1955-57

My Name is Iain Duncan, some time SAC RAF - (1955/1957) I'm 80 years this year..... I live in Glasgow.

When I was at RAF Hucknall, I played Rugby in the Unit team, and Tennis in the Camp team, and at the Mainainance Command championships @ RAF Wellesborne mount ford, near Stratford upon -Avon, in 1957. My Tennis Partner was a Pilot Officer Michael Wolfgang, Lawrence, Morris at RAF Hucknall, I think he went to Bedford School, and learned his Rugby there: he eventually became a MP for Northampton the Guy in charge of Rugby at Hucknall, was a Flying Officer Ackerman, and the WO in charge of the P3 Section was a Warrant Officer Dunne!

I also played Modern Jazz Piano, and when at RAF Wilmslow (Squarebashing) Sep 1955' a Jimmy Jackson, Drill Corporal, D flight, who played great Guitar, Fixed me up with a gig in a Manchester Club - which Paid me 10/- (shillings!) for The one night. He had to fix me up with Civvies for the Gig. He happened to be the Singer on the night......he was very talented and came from Maryhill in Glasgow

To earn a few extra Bob, I played the Piano in the "Chequers" pub in Hucknall And at an Hotel in the upper Square in Nottingham City Centre, on a Friday night, near to the Nottingham Playhouse; this Required a Dicky Bow Suit, which I pawned (in Pawn Shop) near West Bridgeford, on Monday's for 9/- and got out on the Friday for ten Bob, to wear again on the night, in the Hotel Cocktail Bar - resident Piano- player. Not many people came to hear my music......one girl, a Silvia Jones, Who was a nice singer, used to come and listen: her father was a Sergeant Jones, A Police Provost who was with No. 3 RAF police District, also at RAF Hucknall.

Her family (mum and Dad) were posted Cyprus in August 1957......................

I also played Tenor and Side drums in all the Camps Silver Bands and Pipe bands at RAF Wilmslow, RAF North Coates and RAF Hucknall, in the latter Camps this earned me a 48 hour month Pass when the rest only got 36 Passes - so I could get home!

I am anxious to track down some great old friends I met at RAF North Coates, near Grimsby, and RAF Hucknall - 13 miles from Nottingham between Autumn 1955 - Autumn 1957.- they're all about 79/80/81 years if still with us, and just perhaps One of them may just read this.

At Hucknall, the subject of a Practical joke, He inadvertently called Up a billet full of Reservists for "Z" training...caused by me on April Fools Day, 1957........I think he got his Knucles wrapped for that?

(2) SAC Derek Pickles, who lived in 1 (Something) Grove, Handsworth, Sheffield, 9

Actually a certain Sally Ainsworth comes back to my mind. I am on Face Book and Whats up. My email address is jcjr44@gmail.com Hope to hear from you. May God bless us all.

David Cobb

I am looking for my father who probably served at Cardington in the late 1950s. I have a name (David Cobb) and the fact that he was in the RAF at the time. I am informed that he met recruits at Bedford station and had a box or small office which he worked from. I was born in 1960 and was adopted as a baby.

The only other information I have is that he was not on national service and he was probably a Corporal.

I realise this is scant information. Any assistance will be gratefully received.

Colonel Noack

I am looking for any family members related to a Colonel Noack. He was a U.S. (I think Air Force?) Colonel who was stationed in Germany. I don't have much to go on other than the family adopted a girl from Germany. I am not sure how old she was at that time. When she got older, she fell for a man from Yugoslavia. Apparently the Colonel and family didn't like it and she ran off with my dad. They had a child before me. Later, I would be given up for adoption. I don't know how many Colonel Noack's there could be but thought I would give this a shot. I hope this makes sense as I was trying to make this short and sweet.

Thank you!

Annie Baker

I am trying to find Annie Baker....my birth mum. I was born on 18 August 1942 at 224 Maryvale Road, Kings Norton, Birmingham 30.All I know is that she had me, fathered by Sidney Glover of Swansea, who as a steelworker from Wales was in a reserved occupation and was involved in the production of ammunitions and was sent to Birmingham in the Second World War. Annie Baker was an aircraft machinist , maybe involved in production of parachutes, or uniforms...who knows! I am 72 years old now and I only new I was adopted 5 years ago....it was a huge shock to me. Since I have explored many avenues but to no avail. I do not have her date of birth nor whether she is alive or dead. I do not know whether she married.

My father took me back to Swansea and together with his wife adopted me in1945. They went to their graves without telling me of my origins. So I am trying to make the connection that Annie Baker was an aircraft machinist , but was she a civilian or was she in the RAF?

Any help to find her would be gratefully received. Thank you.

Flight Lieutenant Bruce S Lord

I am not sure if this is the correct site to bring this up but my father was a part of the No 502 (Ulster) Squadron in WWII as a Flight Lieutenant (Bruce S Lord # J24782) piloting a Halifax. Dad passed away June 14^th but was very proud of his service with the squadron, as was I. Mom was a war bride and at 88 is still going strong but dearly misses him.

I know there are not many WWII vets left but just wanted to touch bases with you.

All the best

Archie Lamb & Ginger Sprent

My name is Jeremy Stride, I am on behalf of my Father looking for two gentlemen who served with him as pilots on No. 3 Squadron 1950'53, any information you may be able to give is greatly appreciated.

The first pilot is Archie Lamb, was a Sgt Pilot but his Father died leaving him with 22,000 pound and it was not good for a NCO to have more money than the officers so he was whisked away to Officer training returning to Wildenrath, we believe, in '53/'54.

The second guy is Ginger Sprent, no more info than that unfortunately.

My Father is very much alive in Tasmania, Australia and recounts regularly his exploits and time being in the Army of Occupation flying in Germany and the many stories that could not possibly happen in these modern times.

Harold Pearce

I am looking to get in contact with RAF engine pilot Harold Pearce or family! I found on the internet an interview with him in late 2000s with an ABC interviewer talking about his story about being shot down in Cologne in 1945 and keeping in contact with the german man who actually shot his plane down! I found in a store in Wheaton, Illinois years ago a brown suitcase with a piece of paper attached to it that reads "This suitcase, a world war heirloom, was owned by RAF engine pilot Harold Pearce who got the DFC award for piloting and leading the Battle on Cologne. The suit case is marked WO( warrant officer)Pearce and has L53/A on the bottom left corner. In the center is marked A.J. I would like to get this back to its original owner or family. With the internet connections that we have these days, coupled with your help, I am hoping I can do that!

blessings to all that served

According to the Air Force list at the Public Records Office, Kew , there was a Pilot Officer A.L.

I'm looking for anyone who knew W/C Mark "Hilly" Brown. He came from Manitoba, Canada, and was my grandmother's sweetheart until he got shot down over Sicily in 1941 (she met and married my grandfather two years later). Hilly joined the RAF in 1936 and was the first Allied pilot to fly a captured German fighter (he flew a captured Bf109 from France to England), and was credited with 17 or 18 kills. I also know that he did some flying with expatriated Czech fighter pilots too.

Anyway, I'm looking for anyone who knew him and would have some stories about him. I have some newspaper clippings that my grandmother kept about him, and I'd love to share those with anyone who is interested.

Looking for 'Nicky' Nethercotte

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
