Hi everyone,
My name is Jennifer and I'm calling in from St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada (about 20 min from Niagara Falls).

My great-uncle flew with the RAF 1942-45, with Sq 19 beginning in early '44. He survived the war but not the cancer that got him in '90. I am fortunate to have all his remaining war memorabilia (log book, diaries, maps, etc) and am looking forward to a trip to the U.K. this fall to have a look at a couple of the airfields at which he was based.

Thank you to Richard, Noel and Chris for ensuring we 'airfield junkies' have a place to congregate and share information.

Welcome Jennifer !

Nice you got the war memorabilia of your great-uncle !

It will be an interesting research for you to follow his trace on the different sites you plan to visit...

And you probably have interesting info to share with us 'airfield junkies' !

hi Jennifer

Welcome along to AiX, good to have you on board. I was up at Rednal yesterday with Noel. When I have got them sorted out I'll post a few photos up for you.

Enjoy the forum, there are loads of like minded "Airfield Junkies" on here!

Hi Jennifer,

Welcome to AIX.

I've been to St Catharines, visted for my cousins wedding about 4 years ago she was married in Niagra on the Lake in a wooden gazebo down by the Lake, we then had the reception in Navy Hall.

My Parents are flying out to visit for 3 weeks tomorrow.

Stevo ;)
