    The Mildenhall Register 15, 90, 149 and 622 Bomber Squadrons’ Association supported by Friends of 75 (NZ) Sqn and 218 (Gold Coast) Sqn Newsletter January 2014 No.622 SQUADRON -ROYAL AUXILIARY AIR FORCE BADGE PRESENTATION DAY Monday, 16th December 2013, was an atrocious day. The weather was extremely bad. It was a drab day with very low cloud and rain beating down, causing heavy spray and limited vision on the roads. Not a very good start to the coming week. However, the next day, Tuesday, 17th December, dawned bright but cold with a hint of ice on car windows. The early morning sky was clear, icy blue in colour with watery sunshine. From the top of the hill at Highworth, the view looking across the valley towards Carterton and Brize Norton resembled a series of large lakes where thick, low-lying mist hugged the ground. A few trees and the odd church spire projected up out of the mist, adding mystery to the scene. Like the Phoenix which rose up out of the fire, metaphorically, a different bird was to rise up out of this mist, but on this particular occasion, it was to be a long-eared owl, the emblem of No.622 Squadron. On this particular day, after a period of sixty-eight years absence, the number-plate of No.622 was to be officially Sqn Ldr Thomas Maxwell at the reinstated as an operational Royal Auxiliary Air controls of the Hercules C Mk1 J Force Squadron based at RAF Brize Norton. simulator during the 622 Sqn Mildenhall To witness this special day, a number of Register’s visit to RAF Brize Norton important guests were invited including Air Commodore Lord Beaverbrook, Air Marshal Sir Timothy Anderson, KCB, DSO and other Senior RAF Officers.

  • I'm Currently Serving at RAF Akrotiri As the TG8 Fire Section Training Manager and Have Become Involved with the Refurbishment of the Units Heritage Centre
    8 December 2016 I wonder if you and the rest of the association could help me? I'm currently serving at RAF Akrotiri as the TG8 Fire Section training manager and have become involved with the refurbishment of the Units heritage centre. We are looking for photos and stories from individuals who have served at Akrotiri since it's formation. If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Kind Regards Chris Dooley Flight Sergeant RAF Fire & Rescue Service Membership Number 1019 Chris Dooley [email protected] 10 November 2016 Your Winter edition of Flashpoint is at the printers awaiting publication and hopefully arriving some time in December. With the hope that someone might take on the role I am still keen to receive any contributions for inclusion of any future Flashpoint and I would keep them and then pass them on to the future editor, by doing this it would save any delays in again appealing for articles and at least the new editor would have a head start. I am optimistic that someone will volunteer again its up to you the members to decide.
