My wife and I live in Victoria Canada on the west coast. We are both WW2 veterans who with two young daughters emigrated from England in 1957. I decided after a short while, in 1957, to join the RCAF and ended my working days in the Canadian Coast Guard as an Electronic Technician. Where was RAF Station Felixstowe? Well if you know Felixstowe the base was at the extreme southwest end. There was an ACK-ACK battery close by and we were co-joined with the Royal Navy. It was visited on the odd occasion by the Luftwaffe and they always got a warm welcome. My inlaws lived in Ipswich. Our unit took back RAF Leiston from the American 8th Air Force when all the "Yanks" went home after doing a marvellous job. If you know where the container port is that was where RAF Felixstowe was. 5/23/01

Those nights were ususally cold,dark, raining and/or foggy. Catching a cab to the train station and partying like crazy in London or after an exciting ferry ride at the Amsterdam School of ya ya and lets party till we puke. Making the run back to base to work Monday AM, hung over and sick. The parties at the NCO Club, and let's not forgt strippers nite. That delightful WRAF from RAF Bawdsey who was an Air Traffic Controller there. Maureen from Wales. The Irish chaplain Father O'Leary and the Wing Commander Col Weatherwax bringing around coffee to the guard posts. The barbecues behind personnel and the good chili at the rod and gun club. THE base football games against other bases 'Go Phantoms'. The beaches at Aldeburgh & the Music Festival & the White Lion. Good drinks and chow there. Fish and CHIPS, Shepherd Pie, Roly Poly and trifle. Still miss that chow. Especially Harp an Guiness while shooting snooker or playing darts, triple on down from 301 and double off anyone. Lots of good people Yank and bloke. Does anyone remember Capt David Pia and the haircut fiasco? Last but not least the Class IV liquor/tobacco store. By the way how is the Ipswich Soccer (Football) Club doing? 5/09/03

Bill Higginbotham: Rumney, NH. RAF Bentwaters, Jun 1982-Jul 1985, 81st CRS ECM RWR Shop. Hello, some of the best times of my life were while I was stationed at RAF Bentwaters. I lived in a flat on Bolton Lane, Ipswich. My local pub was the Woolpack just up the road. I have been back several times since leaving England. I absolutely love the country. I remember some good friends I had there. Bob and Kathy Koos, Rick and Natalie Lappiere, Chas Lucas,Rick Norseworthy, Kyle Rogers, Bert Shamsideen, Ed Workman and so many others. I visited the base in the summer of 2002 and they let me drive all around the tech side. The ECM shop was still there with all the art work still on the walls. What a trip to see all that. I sure do miss the people and the good times at RAF Bentwaters. If anyone recognizes my name, please drop me a line. 11/21/04
