Gutersloh

I served at Gutersloh from Jan 1986 to Dec 1989. It was a great unit with excellent people. I even remember Santa arriving by 230 Sqn Puma at the Childrens Party! I was in Harrier Plans and I also did some logs support for the SH exercises with 18 Sqn and 230 Sqn. People worked hard but we did have such a great standard of living with the skiing in the winter, duty free allowances and really worthwhile jobs. The station had a great feeling of comradeship. I look back now and am sad to see such great stations handed over with the loss of the true aviation spirit.
