Born under the landing pattern of RAF Brüggen and RAF Wildenrath in the Netherlands in the town of Roermond, but spent most of my youth fifteen kilometres to the West to some craphole, more under the landing pattern of Kleine Brogel which was OK until the 104s got replaced by F-16s.

After that i lived for a while in Amsterdam (Schiphol nearby, the only military aircraft flying over back then were Singaporese Fokker 50s on test- and delivery flights) and Tilburg, within cycling distance of Gilze-Rijen (Dutch Apache base) and Weelde (Belgian gliders, Piper Cubs and storage). Then went back to the Brüggen landing pattern (Wildenrath had closed by then), and now the stovepipes of the NATO E-3A’s at Geilenkirchen pass over my flat.

Weelde you say? Cool. I was planning to take my first glider-trip there. A friend of mine already has enough experience flying such a thing. I’m really looking forward to my first time.

Born in Retie (near Dutch Border), lived for 15-years in Koksijde (near French Border), now back in Retie. Gee, it’s full of Dutch here 🙁

Hey skycruiser,

You lucky b@st@7d!!!!!

I was born in Hong Kong in the September & we arrived back in Blighty in the following January. Hence I have absolutley no memories of the place! – sounds good though when you tell someone where you’re born.;)

Born in Bournemouth, then at the start of the year we moved to Hong Kong. Hong Kong is wicked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Born in Hong Kong (hence the flag) then Bishops Stortford, Stamford – I remember Whirlwinds, Hunters & Harriers from Wittering & Argosy’s, Canberas & Tornado’s from Cottesmore.
Then off to Northampton – what a dump! Then onto Nottingham – what a brilliant place! Ended up moving back down to Hertfordshire & now residing in Hoddesdon. – spending all my back garden time watching Ryanair, sleazy jet et al on approach to Stansted.

me in the republic of singapore the great

University Ren.

Born in Toulouse (France) in the same time of the first flight of Concorde. now in Paris

Born in Reading, dragged up near Edinburgh!

The only claim to fame my town has is that Ju88s flew over it on the day the Spitfire first scored an enemy kill!

Born in Huntingdon, (Cambridgeshire) then moved to a small village near Ramsey. Got packed off to school over near Rugby, then onto Ashley’s neck of the woods, Oakham (Rutland) until moving onto Cambridge for a couple of years.
London, Bristol, Cirencester, Leicester, London (again) and Reading last year (ran a lovely l’il cinema in Henley) for a while before moving to Ramsey area (all work related).
Strange, but always (excepting London) tend to end up living within a few minutes walk of an airfield…

Was born in Aldershot in 1985 and lived in Arborfield (about 5 minutes drive from where I am now). Also lived in Germany for 3 years from 1988-1991 and then moved to Bordon, Hants(?). Then me moved back to Arborfield where we stayed until 1997 and now we are just outside Reading, about 20 minutes drive from Heathrow Airport.

The reason for all the moves is that my dad is in the army and we were living in their accommodation for quite some years until purchasing our own home.

Aye, s*it happens right enough !:cool:

Born and bred June 26th 1958 in Colchester so I have spent most of my life being bothered by Army helicopters. On the upside it was close to Wattisham during the days of English Electric’s finest and close to B e n t w a t e r s, Woodbrdge and Whethersfield, and Duxford is just under an hour away.
For the last eight years I have been in Rowhedge a small riverside village just south of Colchester.

If you live in the UK in the BBC Look East region, tommorow nights weather with the skinny blonde girl Julie Rienger will be broadcast from the Anchor pub about 800m from my house.

The pub has just been taken over by Kent brewers Shepherd and Neame and a Thames barge is delivering some beer as part of the opening festivities. The “Greta” is one of only two remaining Thames barges ( the other being the Pudge ) still in sail of the many that went to Dunkirk. She was built in 1892 just a few miles further down the River Colne at Brightlingsea, so it’s a bit of a home coming.
The Pudge was alongside the Anchor overnight a couple of weeks ago whilst on a recent charter. She was nearly sunk whilst in convoy in the channel but returned to the beaches three times to bring home over 1000 troops.
The Little Ships website link is below for more details, I’ll try and post a pic of a different type of “veteran” tommorrow, 63 years after her “finest hour”.

I got drunk in Roermond at a very young age in 1979 while on the ATC camp to Bruggen.

Born in Jersey, moved to Clevedon in Somerset when I was 3, lived there and Bristol until 1989 when I returned to Jersey. Been here ever since though Mrs EN830 would like to move back to the UK at the first chance we get, probably to buy a farm and raise Goats for the unwashed of Lowestoft.
