GENERAL INFORMATION
Our association evenings are open to
all former TA personnel and it is hoped
that news of this new
opportunity to meet up with old friends will
spread by 'word of
mouth'. With that in mind, former Squadron
personnel are strongly
encouraged to pass on the news of the
formation of the association
to any other old comrades.
Once the association has
established a more formal footing
more detailed information will
be published here.
If you have any questions
regarding the association please feel free
to contact the secretary Bob Dallaway

at 151TPT-210-PSAO@mod.uk

The committee would like
to thank Major Gotobed, Captain Read
and the rest of the Squadron
for their kind support with the
formation of the association.

ASSOCIATION HISTORY
19th April 2009
On Sunday 19th April 2009 at Princess Royal House a group of former
210 Squadron
members gathered to discuss the idea of forming
an 'old comrades'
association. A decision was taken to assemble
a temporary
committee which would deal with the formation
of the association
and it had its first meeting that afternoon.
Major Paul Gotobed (210
Squadron OC) kindly offered to allow
the association to meet at
SHQ on drill nights. Therefore, the
committee has decided that the
association should hold social
evenings at SHQ on agreed dates from 8:30pm.
