RAF Waterbeach, Reforming of 253 sqd in 1954
written by David Hunt
 I was a young Cpl Air Radar fitter when I was postede from the statin staff at Waterbeach to start off
253 sqd that were to be supplied with VENOM NF2a aircraft
Initally ther was a Flt Sgt whoes name escapes me and my self with two tressal tables and pads of DEMAND FORMS F 673’s and the equipment scales.About a fortnighr later we were joined by several others posted to the Sqd strength
and our Engineering Officer W O Young, closley followed by the C O
Wng Cdr Underwood. It was the experiance of a life time to be in at the start. My cell mate when we were operational was a Cpl Keith Birch a three year timer If any members of the sqd are out there
give me a shout. I left the unit in 55 to go to the Vulcan V force that was just about to arrive on the scene. |
