Post 1945 RAF actions
I am working on a major project looking at the various wars and lesser campaigns that the RAF has been involved in post 1945, and am anxious to contact anyone who took part in them in any way - aircrew, ground crew, etc) - please.
The non-definitive list includes:
Berlin airlift
Korea
Suez
Biara oil lift
Kuwait
Indonesian confrontation
Kenya anti-Mau Mau
Malayan Emergency
Congo
Brunei
Iceland - Cod War
etc., etc.
This is not about who shot-down what, it is looking for "I was there" stories covering the many emergency/humanitarian operations in which the RAF has been involved, whether it be fighters, bombers, transports, MR, helicopters... The aim of the finsihed work is to cover 100 years of the RAF, with each decade being represneted by personal accounts of a number of such activities.
I would be most grateful for any offers of help please. I have tried this thread on the Military Aircrew forum and have only managed to get one - excellent - personal account.
thanks
