QRA, Battle Flight, RAF Gutersloh and RAF Wildenrath and More
I am an aviation writer trying to find stories from the era when the RAF operated Battle Flight from RAF Wildenrath.
It is an era which fascinates me, a period when this section in Germany was a virtual air combat arena where RAF F-4 Phantoms performed DACT with F-104's, Harriers, Jaguars, Phantoms from the USAFE and the Lutwaffe, in addition to providing QRA. I am also interested in the earlier years when RAF Lightnings did the same training and QRA roles.
I would love to hear first hand stories about this period from any individuals involved in this period. - I am interested in setting up a separate website where photographs and stories can be exchanged. If a sufficient number of stories can be obtained, I would like to write an entire book, containing many first-person narratives, from this historic period. Thanks very much!
