Don't suppose you remember anyone by the name of Tom Darling around your time at El Adem do you? He was there 25 Sep 63 and prior to that also did Seletar and Gan but back in 59. He was an aircraft tradesman - not exactly sure but probably prop/airframes. He is my boss (currently in cyprus)and leaves the RAF as a retired officer having done best part of 50 years in uniform this christmas. Trying to get together some of his history - photos and dirt in particular! as part of a leaving speech.
More than interested if you know him or any information. email to above address if poss

I will sound out some guys later today to see if they remember that name, not easily forgotten I am sure.

50 years in the mob, Gordon Bennett!

Nice to hear familiar names. Good website. Not had computer long but I will get going on this one. I was on 4 shift with F/Sgt Fred Churchill i/c. Not a bad posting, been to better, I think the parties with 3 shift kept us all alive and bouncing.

What a F*^%$£% hole

Ohhhhh Gary, to be posted to " the end" for such a long time, dear oh dear, my deepest sypathies, my 2 connections with El Adem were , a detachment with 66 sqdn i think was sometime in 60 or late 61, and we only had tents and flimsy canvas cot beds ( living in a hotel in tobruck, huh, upmarket were we and ohhhh that Beverly trip from UK to there, what an experience, and the other connection.Well, when serving OS tour in Cyprus, we had many a bod on A/L from El Adem, a few of them completely off their trollies, and one i DO remember actually topped himself.So yes, a wonderful place to be,, if you like sand and camels that is
