This is an unfinished place holder page for my RAF Honington page.
Last Update: 20 February 2014.

I'm trying to find as many of my old colleagues as I can, so, if you're in this picture or you were there somewhere near between 1981 and 1987 or you know some of the missing names it would be nice to hear from you. This picture was taken only 18 months into my posting it represents about half of the people I worked with over the six years, there are lots of others who are not in this picture. I just wish I took more pictures while I could.
