Photographs of RAF Police Flights
It has been suggested by a couple of members that perhaps if old photographs were shown on the site, maybe a few memories will be jogged. I am perfectly willing to do this but there are conditions. If you can scan them yourself and then email them to me, then fine, but they must be in jpeg format and no bigger than 100Kb if possible (although I can sometimes reduce them if they are twice this size).
If you don't have access to a scanner then you can post them to me (address in the Directory) BUT I cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage in the post AND I will require postage and an envelope to return them to you. Obviously all details about the picture as well as your details will be required whichever way you chose to send them.

The P2 Course I attended at Debden in early 1963.
For any any names/ info of present location etc, I will make a donation of £3 per name to the Memorial Fund.
Interesting to note that as far as I am aware none of the others are members of the RAFPA. Although one appears in the latest GRIFF.
Best regards

On the 15 Oct 81 the then CPM RAF Germany Gp Capt Jim Sharpe died in his staff car on the way to RAG Bruggen to present the prizes for the RAF Police Germany Golf Championships. His widow, Mrs Elizabeth (Betty) Sharpe, asked that a Soccer Memorial Trophy in his name be contested for annually between the RAF Police (Germany) and the RAF Regiment (Germany) due to the fact that he had served with both branches during his career. That match took place on 12 Mar 82 and the photo shows the team, and yours truly the RAFP (Germany) Manager, who competed for and won that inaugral match 2 - 0.

Having gone up into the attic I came back with a couple of samples from "222" Steamer Point. First two show the extent of the 1967 flood looking down from "222" to the mess area and sports ground. The third shows the normal view with the school bus escort taking place.
And finally anyone remember Ishmal and Mahmood?

I came across the attatched photo while looking out some pix to send to John Walton for Den Price's widow.
It was taken in the early summer of 1951, during a CPM's inspection of 10 Provost Flight, Port Said.

A photo was taken on 3rd July at Waddington air show. although their attempt at the grass track race against the Red Arrow Hawk failed, it was a valiant effort.
The photo' shows former members of the RAF Steamer Point (Aden) Police Dog Section, (circa '65 - '67). We're always looking for new members to widen the range of memories and 'tall tales'.
Sent by Pip Waller on behalf of Hamish Munroe.
