I have been visiting this site for a number of years whenever I feel like kicking back and reminiscing. It is the only "picture site" I use to visit what I like to consider my second home.

I'm from the US and was stationed in the UK for four years in the eighties (1982 - 1986). I was at RAF Greenham Common in Newbury, Berks and view that time as the best assignment of my twenty years in the USAF. I lived at 34 Stroud Green, Newbury, Berks right outside the gates of the Newbury Racecourse; what a beautiful place. Sorry I don't have any pictures of it to post.

What a beautiful country. I only wish I took as many pictures of the countryside as I did of friends and family.

I look forward to many more visits to the website.

Cheers,

Bob

Hi Bob---welcome to PoE from me too; you may have seen one or two of my pictures of Newbury---not to mention my 3 sites about Greenham Common. Well, I'll have to pop along to Stroud Green and take a photo or two. Newbury Racecouse has had a major refurbishment--- possibly since you were last here.

The last pic I saw of Upper Heyford Sue, was the runways chock full of new Rovers back in 2005 when they ceased trading.
