Suvla Block, RAF Uxbridge

....
The Times (Hillingdon & Uxbridge version, that is) reported on a ceremony held on 31 March 2010, to mark the closure of RAF Uxbridge. https://www.hillingdontimes.co.uk/ne...-raf-uxbridge/

Within the text is mentioned "... an IRA bomb attack on the Suvla accommodation block in January 1981. Fortunately, no-one was killed in the blast."

A substantial article on this historic station that was established in 1915, is on Wiki - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Uxbridge

My Dad spent a while in the hospital in 1927.
Probably named for Suvla Bay - Gallipoli ....
