Happy Birthday 201 (Guernsey's Own) Sqn
A small but moving ceremony was held at Kinloss today when the unit now know as 201 (Guernsey's Own) Sqn celebrated its 95th birthday with a cake and traditional song.
The party games will take place all this weekend with lots of ice cream and jelly (or something similar).
Oh and a wee message for Falcon Central :
You touch our float and the wooden bird gets it
Hic et Ubique

I hope there are a few people there other than current Sqn members. Apparently it was advertised in the Association Newsletter; having just blown the dust off that from when it was sent out by e-mail in Feb, I must keep the weekend of 2nd-5th Oct free!
Congrats to the Sqn on your 95th, but I have to say your comms suck; a bit like your planning did when the previous bloke was doing it!!

Happy Birthday
Likewise. I only found out about the reunion last week and too late to change plans (and I live within 15nms of the base!). Nonetheless - many congrats on your birthday and I'm sure there will be a few ales quoffed over the week-end. I wonder if that wizened old engineer J**ko was there. Bless his heart - he seems to pitch up for every maritime Sqn Reunion whether he served there or not
. Good on 'im.
Have a good week-end.

Celebrations got off to a good start last evening - the jelly and ice cream were flowing....
J-Ko is indeed here Tis I, making mini Eng feel very at home. He finished flying for some tin pot outfit at age 68 and looks like he would carry on if he could! Amazing! They don't make em like that anymore.
Big partay tonight ...........more to follow.
