I hope things change for you one day and that you will come back. Miss you Delta. Wednesday 12/31/2003 10:36:27am Name: Delta E-Mail: [email protected] City/Country: Oxford England Guestbook Entry: I started going to Upper Heyford in the early Eighties. I met a great guy there called Bill he worked on the flight line and we really had some great times going to the NCO Club and he would come to Oxford at the weekend and I would show him around Oxford, the Colleges the Musuems and the pubs (The Grapes). When we went to London that was great going to Buckingham Palace and going to London Bridge and Tower Bridge and Soho and going to the pubs. But most weekends would go to the base and stay over wernt suppose to do that really, but it was good fun. Sometimes we would go down to the 3 horse shoes pub have a game of darts and pool which was good. I remember this pizza place on base, they done some of the best pizza. Still keep in contact with Bill he came back to England a few years ago and hoping he will come back to England again one day. Its sad to see Heyford now as it is, I went there in January of this year the first time in many years, and it is like a ghost town but everything basically still looks the same, went down to Lower Heyford and the 3 horse shoes is no longer there, that has been made into 2 houses now. I think Upper Heyford will be missed by many of us. Duane you have done a great job on this website of yours. Delta.

If anyone remembers me I would love to hear from you, even you, Terry Rice Wednesday 12/17/2003 3:12:40am Name: Dennis Radke E-Mail: [email protected] City/Country: Portland OR Guestbook Entry: I was at the 2130th Comm Sq, Croughton, (64-67) after extending six months for a consec o/s tour. If I hadn't always wanted to visit the UK, my prior eighteen months with the 1950th Comm at beautiful Wheelus AB, Tripoli, Libya alone would have made the UK seem like Heaven. Extended another six months toward the end of my tour. 3AF said no more extensions, so Col G went to South Ruislip and got me another six months then they cut me off in spite of my offering to re-up for an open-ended enlistment. Croughton was the ultimate assignment - check out my email address!!! I've been back to the UK TWENTY TIMES since 1967 and have visited the old base most of those trips, being given a wonderful reception in spite of ongoing security concerns. (I guess I look harmless.) I was in the Orderly House in Admin and I am in contact with Keith Spindler (Personnel) and Vance Shannon (NCOIC of Base Comm). Season's greetings, folks!

Was in the RAF as FME and the station was called 'No 1 Parachute and Glider Training School' I started to do a Parachute course with 6 other RAF bods but only did 2 drops from a static balloon at Weston on the Green & one from a Dakota, then was sent out to Germany, on the Berlin Airlift. This is the 3rd attempt to contact someone from my time at UH. they say 3rd time lucky. Here's hoping.
