HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY 10 Squadron
I echo the good wishes of ExAscot and wish all members of the Squadron and indeed all past members too, a HAPPY NEW YEAR.
The Squadron was formed at Farnborough on 1 January 1915 so HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY. For those who were on the Squadron, or relatives of those who have passed away, why not join the 10 Squadron Association? Visit HOME - 10 Squadron Association - Royal Air Force for 'How to Join' details. |
Happy days, gone forever.:*

I've never served on 10 Squadron, but have a lot to remember them for. They delivered me to my first overseas tour in 73 (Cyprus), they gave me a lift home to my Wedding in 74. They brought me back with a few injuries from the Gulf in late 1990. On a night stop at homestead in the early 90s, the Herk crew I arrived with bottled out of a night out, I joined the 10 Squadron crew for a night to remember. To all who did serve on 10 Squadron, thank you and sincere congratulations on your centenary. It's a proud history.
Smudge:ok: |
Never served on 10 but like smudge was positioned by then several times.
Longest back from Easter Island and out to Nellis. Here is a copy of a page from the log book of a gallant gentleman who did serve on 10 in WW2. http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps2a866cb0.jpg |
AA62: A computer outage means that I'm catching up on things, including this. Can I ask if you are any relation of the officer concerned? There are a number of clues on that page as to why he was a little special.
100 years ago today, 10 Squadron moved from Farnborough to Brooklands, where it began to build up to strength and training began. Some three months later it moved to Netheravon for operational workup before deploying to France towards the end of July. |
ICM,
a PM is on the way. |
My first posting out from Training was 10 at Cottesmore and eighteen very happy months later, the Sqdn disbanded. This was marked with a flypast of a diamond nine formation of our Victor Mk 1's, an incredible sight in 1964. I've watched much of Jaluqa's old footage but have never seen that particular flypast on video. My guess is that it was never recorded due to the facilities of the era, which if the case, is such a shame.

Roebuck: The F540 record shows that final formation was of just 5 aircraft on 28 February 1964, with the formal disbandment on the next day.
