Thanks to VIProds for bringing this to the public fourm. With the power of PPRuNe I have contacted the Benson MCO/PRO who has asked me to publish the following on behalf of the Station (she does not have a Proon account).
Hopefully this will go someway to helping Alec achieving the response he should have been originally afforded.
“Unfortunately due to our operational commitments the collation of our historic material, both donated to us and loaned to us, was delayed for a number of years and there was no dedicated team available to look after it thus it was simply stored. This has now been rectified and we are fully cataloguing all material and ensuring that it is displayed with the correct recognition and honour to which we owe those who have served our country. We have recently opened our Heritage Centre, which takes pride of place in Station Headquarters and displays RAF Benson’s historic information, images and artefacts. If anyone believes that they have loaned images or artefacts to RAF Benson and they would like to obtain them, please do get in contact with the Public Relations Officer via email at
[email protected] giving details of the items and she will ensure that a thorough search of the archives is completed at the earliest opportunity.”
