RAF Gutersloh, in 1966
written by nicholas Price
 England win the World Cup.
RAF Gutersloh my favourite station of all time. I was an air mover working in the Joint Services Air Movements Unit. For the World Cup Final we set up the passenger lounge similar to a cinema.
There were as many Germans watching the television as there were english service men.
The atmosphere was electric, imagine the deep satisfaction at looking at all those sad german faces and the delighted English making the most of it, when Geoff Hurst scored that winning goal.
I write this today 26th Aug 2010, a couple of weeks ago my wife and I were in the Cafe on Cheltenham railway station. Guess what there was Geoff Hurst just sat there having a coffee, my wife had to restrain me from bothering him, I just felt I wanted tell him all about the above. I expect Geoff was greatfull not to be bothered !
