Bentwaters and Woodbridge, British civilian, 81 TFW clinic, 1988
until mission completion.
It was a wonderful place to work and I am fortunate enough to
still keep in contact with some of my friends from the 'good old
days'. It would be great to find out about and contact others
I knew during my time working and partying at the bases! If anyone
was at the bases between 1986 and its closure I would love to
hear from them. I am still living in the local area but at the
moment I am at Holloman AFB, New Mexico.

My name is Engo Helbig, RAF Bentwaters from DEC
1989 to DEC 1992, 81st AGS in both the 510th and 92nd AMUs.
I'm wondering if you can help me find out the building numbers
of the barracks that I lived in. I would also like to find out
the room numbers as well, but I think that would be to difficult.
If you are familiar with the Domestic Site of RAF Bentwaters,
for my time period, it should be easy to place. I
need the building numbers of barracks A and D. I would greatly
appreciate any help or referrals that you can provide.

Steven A Anderson - Jeffry Rados jrrados(a)earthlink.net
RAF Bentwaters 1987-88
I am the brother of Steven A. Anderson. I hope this name sounds
familiar to someone.
He was found dead in 1988, somewhere on or near the base.
I was presented this news from my CO who stated that Steven committed
suicide. A detailed report as to what happened was never provided
to our family. It took two weeks for his body to be returned to
the US, again with no explanation. Can you imagine what we saw
when my mother demanded for the casket to be opened; looking at
a two week old deceased body. It didn't even look like Steven.
Here it is 11 years later, and we still have no answers. I heard
he had a girlfriend over there I heard many explanations.... I've
heard it all! But, nothing makes much sense. If anyone has any
info on my brother, I would greatly appreciate it. The circumstance
really is irrelevant to me; meaning I don't aim to seek any revenge
or compensations. I only want to know the truth of what happened.
Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide!

RAF Bentwaters 1983 - 1987
I haven't thought about Bentwaters in years, but I was glad to
find this site. Bentwaters was the best assignment I had in my
20 year career. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who was
stationed there back then. Especially Vehicle Maintenance personnel:
Huerta, Prohaska, Tom, Richie, Ski, Larry Burke, Tom Sneddon,
Trosclair.
I still contact Shawn Colberg and Valerie Fioretta and Scott Kirsch.
Anyone remember a girl named Mary (her last name escapes me) who
I went out with in 85-86. She worked at the chow hall, lived in
the dorm, had blonde hair, talked kind of slow (sorry Mary) {it
was more like a slight southern accent.} Her roommate went out
with a friend of mine (his name escapes me also, I have a picture
of him somewhere, he was from Boston) he introduced me to Mary.
We went out for a few months, partied at the club often and had
a few laughs. We'd go to the bowling alley for a late night snack
or put on our uniforms and go to midnight chow. We remained friends
after we broke up and I think she married a Brit. What happened
to Mary? Does anyone remember "Bag Nasty" or the "Bag
Nasty Lady?" (Oh, yes,
Ron Burrell is her dad!)
How about Phil the taxi dispatcher (got me home many a night)
"Need a cab Woody Base!" I also went out with a few
British girls: Barbara W? Her best friend was Shirley Johnson.
They were from Leiston and inseparable. Shirley might have worked
at the base until it closed? Barbara married an American and moved
to Arizona? I hung out in Aldeburgh quite a bit. Went out with
a girl there named Liz Grozika? I think she eventually got a job
at the base and married an American as well. There was a girl
named Celia. I'd be interested to know what she remembers. She
worked at the CBPO I think. God my memory is shot! Must have been
all those pints I drank in England : )

Robert Starling looking for "Rags"
or "RAGS"
I'm a Brit. who flew a Hunting Provost (prop. trainer) aircraft
into Bentwaters for the open day in 1989
My host was a captain or a major with the nickname RAGS. Does
anybody know him - he was super guy and supplied enough beer to
see me through that year. Bentwaters was the best station that
I flew to during 1988 through to 1990 display season - everybody
was just great. At Norwich airport we have two ex USAF Bentwaters
and Woodbridge A10 engineers who run their own FAA maintenance
operation in the UK when the bases closed they just stayed here
to continue to keep USA/UK relations in trim.

Looking for Linda MacDermott, from Glasgow, with
whom I shared a house in Eyke (Corbie Steps) along with Gordon
Fancy, from Dunfermline.
They both worked for the US Base Exchange (contractor) or for
Massey Motors and the Railway Station antiques in Campsea Ashe
(Wickham Market). They were my best man and lady at my wedding
in Melton in November 1987. I was posted at RAF Bentwaters from
September 1987-November 1989. Perhaps someone knowing my old mate
Dave Cooper who worked at Massey Motors might be out there and
could provide a link. Or possibly the inn keepers Harvey and Leslie
Shand of the Elephant and Castle in Eyke? My name is Ronald Case.
My wife Paula would dearly love to renew contact with Linda.
