Former V-Force personnel sought
An appeal letter has been sent out to a wide range of press contacts across the UK, if you know of any former V-Force personnel or people that have associations with Valiants, Vulcans or Victor please ask them to get in touch. Below is an extract from the letter; N.B. the event is also open to the general public.
“As before the reunion side of the event is being organised by a team of former V-Force Officers, whose aim is to bring together as many former aircrew and ground support staff as possible. This team is keen to hear from any former personnel and full details of the activities planned and how to join the reunion can be gathered from their excellent reunion website http://www.vforcereunion.co.uk
The museum has been supporting this effort by trying to establish contact with personnel who are felt still likely to live in areas around the 10 designated V-Force Bases at:
RAF Coningsby
RAF Cottesmore
RAF Finningley
RAF Gaydon
RAF Honington
RAF Marham
RAF Scampton
RAF Waddington
RAF Wittering
RAF Wyton
Plus no V-Force event would be possible without also mentioning RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus and the various dispersal airfields around the world, too many in numbers to mention.
Additional contact work has been tried around the various manufacturing sites for the Vickers Valiant at Weybridge; Avro Vulcan at Woodford, Chadderton, Bracebridge Heath and Bitteswell; and the Handley Page Victor at Cricklewood and Radlett.”
