What was probably the first step in the reduction to eventual closure of RAF(H) Wegberg took place, as I recall, in around July 1993, when both Officers' and Sergeants' Messes there were closed and amalgamated with their opposite numbers at Rheindahlen. (A recommendation to that effect had been on the table for some time after a Parliamentary group had got very upset at the degree of overlap perceived on the provision of facilities at both locations, and a time came when it could no longer be put off.) I cannot speak with certainty about how the SNCOs' merger went but, after an initial and very shortlived resentment at having to move, the PMRAF nursing officers revelled in the change and, for a year or more, the Churchill Mess was a very lively place to be! (The move came as HQ RAFG closed and the HQ Mess became joint Army/RAF, under that new title.)
