I received an email from Paul Smith who was a member of the 210th Entry. He was only with us for a short time, 3 Wing I guess, and he wants to get in touch with all of the “plumbers” he made friends with when he was there. He will also be attending the next Triennial in 2013 and I hope lots more of you will attend as there were only 8 of us there in September 2010 out of the 100+ that passed out.

Ozzy.

Hi Ozzy,

Yes, if you could post the following on the 210 Entry site I would appreciate it.

I am trying to contact any of the 210 Entry Apprentice Weapons Fitters including Dave Pollington (who according to the Final Exam role was an Electrical Fitter).
I was with them in room 1 for 3 months before buying myself out.

Ozzy. I have attached a couple of photos taken just after the 2 week basic training (bull and marching) passing-out parade.
Halton 1 (large group) : I am 7th from the left.
Halton 2 (small group) : I am 2nd from left standing.

If you can post these with the statement above it might jog some memories.

Cheers,
Paul

I got lots of practice using WordPress whilst on holiday in Florida …… not!

 I am however getting practice now and I will monitor the security measures I have installed. There were 7 of us from the 210th at the Ex-brat Reunion in the morning and one late-comer in the afternoon, it was lucky for him that Spike wasn’t there with his 252′s. It would have been nice to have seen a few more faces but maybe next time or we could have our own reunion? I have added a few photos that I took, 24 of over 200, I’ll  add a few more later.

Ozzy.

ps. Spike I am only joking, it would be great to see you at the next reunion.

I never in a hundred years expected it would be left up to me, Dave “Ozzy” Osborn, to set up a website for our illustrious

210th Entry, No.1 School of Technical   Training, RAF Halton.

Can any of you ex-brats please gather up some of your old photos or write a short/long story of your time at Halton and send them to me via the email address in the Comment. I will endeavour to put all of your work on the site. I have no old photos, only new ones of my own and I will gladly give you full credit for each and every photo or story published.
