Anyone wishing to attend the Sqn Dining In Night to be held at RAF Valley on Fri 16th Oct 2009, please contact Andy Kirk asap at andrew276@btinternet.com or 07801 499485.
I Served on 19(F) at RAF Gutersloh 1973 - 1976 and again at RAF Wildenrath 1984 - 1987. Is there anyone out there that served at either of these locations at the same time?
Hi John,
I was on 19 Sqn May 75 until Dec 76 and then over to 92 Sqn until April 77. Hard to believe it's been 30 years!!! You must remember the Dolph-Inn, many a pint in there and detachments to Boda Norway in Sep 75 and Deci Nov 75.

Hi all you guys from early 70's, I remember the Dolph inn, I wired the electrics in there and was a founder member of the club. The squadron came second in the Christmas Bar competion in 1972, and the Boss (Peter Vangucci) sought permission from the station commander to have the club full time. We even had a door knocked through the wall that led to the gents toilets on the 1st floor of the barrack block, for easy access to the toilets. Other members of the committee were Colin Baldwin (Flt Lt), Chris Dalton, John North, Mick Staniforth, Bob Hinchcliffe and Andy Yeomans. Yes we did have some great times up there in the annex and if I remember rightly a lot of secret drinking went on there during the weekends. I remember building the bar as well, the facia was made up of some kind of brown artificial leather and we dimpled it for effect. I also remember the odd rookie zob being sent down from the officers mess as some kind of initiation, they usually ended up legless.

Hi all,
I was posted to Gutersloh in 65 with 19 from Leconfield. The Mally seemed to be the squadron bar along with the bowling alley. Happy days but long night shifts as i recall.

Hi all. Roddie Davies has had a great idea of putting 19 on Facebook. Get yourself on there and catch up with some old friends. If you can't find it look for me and i'll add you as a friend you'll then get attached to the forum. It's all good fun!!! If some don't know my full name is Simon Nash.
