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.

Many thanks Martin – message relayed to the team (not me) who put them together. There are still copies available for those who have not yet got them – see http://www.tswscdoassn.co.uk/news.html#cd_dvd

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!

Just a note to amend my email address to:strays52@hotmail.co.uk not .comThanks to Tim Newstead for pointing this out!Apologies

My Father, Dennis Smith, served in 3210 Squadron Servicing Commando during ww2, landing on Sword Beach D. Day+1. Was based at San Croix Sur Mere .Any one out there to swap stories or history? Please e-mail.

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.

The Association AGM and Reunion will be held on Saturday 5th June at Stafford, in conjunction with the TSW Families' Day. You should receive the calling notice and Newsletter (together with your membership card) any day now. Our chairman, Duncan Grant, ably assisted by Bob McBey, is in the process of posting them out.

A Happy New year to all of TSW past and present.

MERRY XMAS AND ALL THE VERY BEST FOR2010.

HiMy late father was Andrew (Andy) Watson born 1916 from Glasgow.He served with 3202 SC in North Africa, Sicily and Italy.He never really spoke much about the war. I am now trying to research his time during the war, I think the 3202 ended up with the 1st Army although not sure.Can anyone help me with any information pleaseany info would be much appreciated

Just to keep the memory of my father alive. My dad, Flt Sgt Eric Donald Stanhope, 540957 RAFSC3201. One of the first to take up Monty's challenge to volunteer (silly boy) for services unknown. He had many stories to tell, not of what he did, but of the people he met during his time with the Servicing Commandos. He lost a couple of good friends in Tunisia.( I think mainly from traffic accidents) He never recovered from the effects of war; refused to fly, drank too much, smoked too much, didn't sleep enough and died too young but still a very gentle man.CheersTony

Hi all, any of you serving or ex wing guys own a motorbike and fancy a weeks touring the highlands of scotland next year, date still to be arranged, waiting for numbers at the mo, so far there are 4 of us, get intouch if your up for it, we will be camping on a night and as always near a pub.

Hi,I'm researching into the TSW, JHF and SF heli operations in 1991 as part of war studies and possible inclusion into a book, Can anyone provide me with any information about the two TSW teams that deployed into Iraq please?Thanks.John Scott.

"Blast from the past" Great to hear from you all. Put me down for the next reunion, I've missed to many…Many congratulations to the web designers, you've done a great job. All the best to you all, hope to see you soon for a 'pepsi' and chin wag.

My Dad joined the RAF in 1943 and was also in Combined OPS during WW2. His name was JOHN AITKEN DOUGLAS from Edinburgh and he would have been 18 when he joined. He didn't tell me much about his wartime experience other than he landed on Omaha Beach and I think he said that it was D-Day plus 1. He was a ground wireless operator by trade. After normandy he met a girl in Bruge,Belgium. Her name was Leanne. Later he went to the Far East and was stationed in Balikpapan in Borneo before the end of the war in Japan. Could anyone tell me what unit he would most likely have belonged to or indeed, does anybody remember my dad? Sadly he died five years ago on 6th June 2005. I would very much appreciate it if anyone has any information.Thanks in advance, Andrew Douglas
