RAF Bruggen Tornado squadron locations

[Jerry Atrick]

Another Tornado question if I may - can anyone identify which squadrons used the four HAS sites at Bruggen? As they are conveniently located at opposite ends of each runway, refer to them as north-east, north-west, south-east and south-west. Many thanks in advance.

31 Sqn NW, 17 Sqn NE. I think it was then 14 Sqn SE and IX(B) SW. Memory affected by Wobbly.

Many thanks - would you also know the Laarbruch squadron locations when all four units were there?

[Rev I. Tin]

I'm afraid I don't, although I will ask a colleague who served there . Did Bruggen and Wildenrath tours, only visiting Laarbruch once for a social event.

Correct.

Not a Laarbruch boy so no idea I'm afraid, though I thought there were only 3 Tonka sqns there (2, XV & 16)???

Colleague from Laarbruch days gives 20 Sqn NW, 16 Sqn NE, II Sqn SE and XV Sqn SW.

I served at both units when Tornado was based there and you are correct for both locations, Brueggen and Laarbruch.
