101history

Help required, please.
I am endeavouring to record the history of 101 Sqn digitally, ones and zeros, Yin and Yang, that sort of binary thing, from the store of material that we hold on the Sqn. A lot of what we have is in a fragile state, and so the hope is, by use of a word processor and a scanner, we can preserve what we have.
101 Squadron is due to stand down in just over 2 years, having started service in 1917, and I have access to a wealth (AKA; shed loads) of material that the Sqn has accumulated since then.
My initial start point for archiving was the OCU/TF photographs from the start of the VC10. Yes, I know it was 10 Sqn to start with, but we are what we are, and that needs to be documented in a way that will be accessible in years to come. (It’s a great looking databaseJ)
I am short of names, dates, and photographs from courses 1 to 10 (1966-1970), so would be grateful if any of the more mature PPruners have access, or information leading to, the successful acquisition of the missing years.
If you have any unique phots/documents/vids of 101 Sqn that you would like recorded, send them in! vc10squadron at gmail dot com , is the place to contact me.
We have a valuable collection of 101 Squadron history that the museums can’t cope with, or display, but can be preserved, in whatever format, so that for future generations;
‘To the end, to the end, they remain'
