I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Mike, you might try the Harrier Force website; www.hfassoc.org. No20 was a Harrier outfit for some time in Germany.

Stick it on ebay and use their charity giving scheme which gives all proceeds to your designated charity. Advantage of this method is that they do not charge any fees or take commission so the full "hammer price" goes to your charity. I've used this scheme myself several times and it works well - letters of thanks from the charity proved that. I'd guess it will make around £10 - £20.

Hi Mike.

I was the SqintO on 20(R) Sqn at Wittering in 2004-5.

If you like, I could try some old bosses who may know who runs the association?

Or failing that, I could try IV(AC) at Valley who may have a tenuous link through Harrier days?

Let me know if that helps?

Cheers

TR

PS, this is a good link for all sqns, a bit out of date for some though...
