months at B/W the rest of time at W/B
Address: 30 Riverview Dr. Ormond Beach Fla 32174, 904 673-0857
Was fortunate to have served at both bases. Most of my time was
on Woodbridge.
You only remember the good times, but they out weighed the bad
at Woodbridge.
I just visited Vic York my roommate at W/B. We had a lot of good
time there when we were young.
We were twenty years olds when I last saw him, now we are both
grandfathers. How time flies when you're having fun.
I am glad that I had such a great experience at that point in
my life. I have very few regrets about my time over there.

I was putting up the flag yesterday at the post office in Aurora,
Colorado. I met George Wilson, a veteran, and come to find out
that he is an 81st veteran from 1961 to 1964. We were stationed
there at the same time!
He worked in the munitions squadron and at the 81st Headquarters
for Col Daniel "Chappie" James Jr. I plan to visit with
George tomorrow and talk about the good old days at Bentwaters
and Woodie bases.
George Wilson is not online but would like to contact former buddies
from his years at Bentwaters. He was also stationed at RAF Sculthorpe
during the 1950s when they had B-45 Tornados.
He can be contacted:

I might add that George is a WWII veteran, a Korean war veteran,
