Just a 'Few' Things I Remember: RAF Bentwaters: 1982-1984, 81st TFW, 81st AGS, 509th AMB/AMU Pirates, Avionics Specialist/Crew Chief (A-10A Tail No. 1953). Really enjoyed my tour and all the friends that I made, should never have PCS'd to Travis AFB (1984-1985). I created the 509th (sku l and rose) stencil that we used to spray on the A-10's Pave Penny Station. It started all the rage of squadron markings which ended up with the horizontal stripes (in squadron color) at the top of the vertical stabilators. The outragous TDY's. Enjoyed li ing off base in Laxfield at the Royal Oak Cottage. My local pubs the Royal Oak, Laxfield, too, the Kings Head (the Low House). Learned about Adnams Bitter at the Cross Keys in Aldeburgh. Enjoyed my 1972 brown Rover (TPV 192K) but not the Black Ice. Beatin dayshift to the Airmans Club on Friday nights when I was on swingshift. Drinking pints with Ron Witt (of Witt Nurseries, Stradbrooke) at the Framlingham Crown during Market Day (Sat.), while his son Roger tended the stall. Parking in a country lane on a eekend night with Jane from the Taxi stand on base (need I say more). "Come On Eilene" I Could go on for ever! RAF Mildenhall: 1985-1990, 313th CAMS, Enroute Maintenance, Avionics Specialist/Crew Chief/Maintenance Controller, C-5 A/B Galaxy, C-141B Starlifter, C-130 A-H Hercules aircraft, I just couldn't stay away! All the great people I use to work with over 'man ' long hours (Kevin Nooyen, Ken Doffek, just to name a few). The way the base 'use' to look. My house in Weeting. CND demonstrations following the Libyan affair. How RAF Lakenheath USAF Regional Hospital ended my career through medical malpractice. I now work for Rockwell/Collins Inc. in Cedar Rapids, Iowa as a Systems Integration Engineer. Contact me if you know me ... Ricco (Ricardo)

I loved being stationed here at RAF Bentwaters,in fact it was my favorite assignment in my 20 year career.I worked in the Dining Hall and I met some wonderful peaple both military and civilian, folks I will always remember with fondness.I worked the night of Dec 27, 1980-when the UFOs were seen and knew all the peaple involved-LT Col Halt always gave me a ride between bases if he saw me at the bus stop- he spent alot of time at the chow hall also, he was a very nice guy.The chaplains were a special lot too- Jim King and the rest made life for this single airman far from home so much nicer.Oh the memories, I will never forget those 3 years. fo

I am trying to find an Native American Indian who was serving in the Air Force (as a lab tech, I think), and who was stationed at Wethersfield in late 1955/early 1956. I believe that he knew my parents, who were also stationed there at that time period ( SAF SSgt Charles C. Hartley & wife, Shirley, now deceased).

I would love to hear from people that were stationed at RAF Chicksands the same time that I was. Just went back last summer after 30 yrs. The base looked the same, not a US base anymore. I was allowed to take my husband for a car tour of the base with an escort. I had a great trip down memory lane. Hope to hear from others stationed there.
