RAF Wattisham, Suffolk

Updated on November 4, 2019

RAF Wattisham, Suffolk, ATC and Ops.

The purpose of this page is to attract the attention of anyone who served at RAF Wattisham in Air Traffic Control or Operations during the 1960's. Ex-service personnel who were stationed at RAF Wattisham are creating a photographic memory bank and communal memory and messaging service to link all those who served at RAF Wattisham in Air Traffic Control or Flight Operations; the purpose being to preserve the memory of the station and the local environs at their time and your contribution to that memory bank is invited.

it is obvious that, over time, memories will fade, old comrades will be lost, either through re-location, poor communications, forgetfulness or death and therefore what happened will slowly be forgotten. This site will preserve their memories of a moment in time. The objective is to open and maintain new links and preserve existing links with people and memories of a very special time in their lives. We invite your participation in sending e-copies of your photo's and memories of RAF Wattisham in order to help preserve the historical snapshot of that time and to join in the e-conversation between people with a shared experience, your initial comments are welcomed at the bottom of the page. Text and photo's may also be sent to djdove1@btinternet.com who will be pleased to include suitable material for you.

The remainder of this page provides further opportunities to explore related subjects.
