My Grandfather James Connon served with the Servicing Commando Squadron (3203?) in North Africa, Sicily and Italy (Salerno) during WWII. I was hopefull that some members might be able to give some anecdotes or stories about the unit and/or my grandfather. His service and my great Granfather's (WWI Somme) influenced my joining the Australian Army (26 years) and I am now trying to research their service. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Graham Hayes
Hear hear George! Though, in reality it was all the Wing's doing – the Association were more partakers than arrangers! It was great to see so many old faces and good to hear the depth of feeling abounding for the Wing. Long may TSW reign! If the spirit of the Servicing Commandos can live on for so long, then the TSW family will live for a long time yet – certainly, if those present on Friday are any indicator! A great time was had – thanks again.
To Flt Lt Newton, Flt Lt Rowell and WO Farrell, I wish to thank you and the association for the excellent dinner on Friday 19th. The dinner and service were first class. It was a pleasure to be there and to meet so many members past and present. Hopefully the Wing will go from strength to strength and look forward to The 50th.Thank you allGeorge Parke

My Father was Ronald H Martin, who served in 3201. My son has a topic at school which I would like to contribute toward, with items of interest about the Servicing Commandos.It has been lovely to read this site, as I know so little about the time my father spent in 3201. Although I accompanied him to reunions, I was only a child at the time and remember only the people, not the stories. I particularly remember meeting ?Mr John Crisp.Thankyou. N Martin
Just a quick message to all attending the reunion & Families Day. Have a great time, sorry I won't be there but I'm currently on a Keo drinking tour of Cyprus. It's going very well! Make sure the TSW Old Boys win the tug 'o' war again this year. Ding Dong!

Hello everyone at TSW both ex and serving. My name is John Williams, I served on "the Wing" from 1993-1999. (SAC on ops) lots of N.I, Bozzers, and exercises. I don't know if anyone reading this remembers me, but I do have some great memories of my time at Stafford. If anyone would like to contact me use the above e-mail address.Unfortunatly I have been suffering bad health for some time. I have had a nasty back injuryand suffer a little with my nerves. Trying to overcome both I have taken my degree in Archaeology from Cardiff Uni. This I achieved with Hons. I'm now studying for my Doctorate. Anyway could someone let me know how the "90's" era boys are doing i.e Mork Lovell, Coups, paddy Maguigan etc would be nice.
