USAF Base, South Ruislip
Many years ago South Ruislip had an USAF base, situated just off Victoria Road where the likes of DFS and Curry's stand today (2004). (Official history heavy going stuff) Where was it? Well if you look at the map here (opens new window) and look for the large "HA4", then that is where it was, in a nutshell.
The questions of "What happened to it" "What is
there now" and "Does anyone know Jim who was station there in
1964" come up on this site quite regularly.
In order to address this problem Ruislip Online invite Jim, and all his comrades
from around the world to share their memories of the base and Ruislip itself and
contribute to this page. This is best done by sending
Ruislip Online an e-mail with your thoughts. Your thoughts will then be
edited in anyway Ruislip Online feels suitable and either put on this page as
those have below, or just used as a source of information about this page.
The initial plan was to simply post copies of e-mails from people who were stationed there in the hope that this will lead to other people sending their thoughts and so on, until a picture can be built up. However, such a number of people have written in that this is now having to be fragmented.
Pages on this section are now as follows:-
