To All.  My name is William and I live in Phoenix Arizona, USA.  I came across this site unexpectedly but I am so happy I did.  I spent 3 years in Suffolk back in the early 70's when I was in the U.S. Air Force.  It was the best time of my life.  I fell in love with the beer, the people, and the country.  I came back to the states with some great memories and a new Norton 850 Commando.  Keep posting the pictures.

 William

Interesting, William, where were you stationed in Suffolk? and did you have a pint of Adnams.

A lot of Americans were, and I think still are stationed  at Mildenhall.

Good you found this web site, I am sure you will find a lot to jog the memory of your stay

Peggy,

I was in fact stationed at RAF Mildenhall.  I lived in the village in a small flat in the churchyard.  I could walk across the street to the Bell Hotel and drink Norwich Bitter, or Bells Scotch.  One of the local PC's used to stop by my house on his beat and have a drink.  It was a great time.

 

William
