  • Tom Johnson from the Fleet Air Arm at Seletar 1958-60 RN Aircraft Holding Unit working in conjunction with HMS Centaur and Albion has been in touch, welcome aboard Tom! (I distinctly remember one of these Carriers coming up the Straits with the rest of the SEATO Fleet to Sembawang Dockyard in 1958, the wash from these vessels nearly knocked us off the wings of the Sunderlands!)

  • Hello to all you 205/209 Squadron webfooters,if you are reading this i'm glad you are still with us.Thanks to all the Moonies that I borrowed $10 bucks off as they arrived,and sorry to all the young virgin lads that i took down town to show them around and got them locked in the Museum all night.Sorry also to all the Snowdrops that got their lovely bulled boots scuffed chasing me over the walls of Bugis street,you were never good enough to catch the squadron lads.In my 12 years in the RAF those days on 205/209 were the best Thanks to all of you that were there.

  • In reply to David's thoughts on a 205/9 association, I would think that this was a good idea, as long as we can get enough members initially and to maintain those members.

  • Thinking of the possibility of starting up a 205 Sqn Association if enough interest. I know there used to be one, but when I tried to contact the secretary I received no reply, so assume it folded.
