RAF Shallufa in 1948
written by Robert Ramsay
 Arrived Shallufa early 1948 to signals unit working VHF/DF,Control Tower and El Shatt bombing range, was surprised to find about 100/150 German Africa Corps prisoners still there. Poor sods homes were in Russian Zone so were not being sent back (to save their lives). We had a lot in common, just wanted to go home and be civvies again, they worked the messes, MT yard , Instrument repairs, met. and others. I regret to say when they found a home for them in Turkey and they left, the station was not the same, lousy food, dirty vehicles etc. During the time they were there I found myself on guardduties with several of them, they carried large wooden battons, we carried the rifles , had some interesting coversations and memories that have lasted |

There is nothing worse than breaking down. But if you do, the RAC have more than 1,500 patrols ready to rescue you, whether you are at the shops or on the motorway. They will always try to fix your vehicle at the roadside, but if they cant they will make getting it repaired as painless as possible.
