Every year in May there is a reunion held at Warboys Church and Village Hall remembering
those that served in the RAF squadrons surrounding the area during World War II.
The very first reunion took place in May 1984 and was organised by Mr Edgar 'Taff'
Jones a Leading Aircraftsman based at Warboys, Cambridgeshire. The idea for that
reunion came from when he organised the commission and unveiling of a plaque in Warboys Church that commemorated
the aircrew and members of 156 Squadron. It was supposed to
be just a 'one-off'!
At the height of success Taff saw over 300 people attend this annual event, a far
cry from the few that were able to make it to the very first. Since passing away
his daughter, Bronwen Wilkin and her family help out with the organisation. Now
in 2008 we have reached the 25th year and there are no plans to stop!
With the recent addition of the Lancaster flying display over the last 3 years and
to celebrate the success of these reunions, the idea of having a website was born.
In the true spirit of Taff, lets hope this is a 'one-off' success too!
The intention of the website is for people to look and remember, but also to share
and get involved.
The photographs and information currently shown on the website originate from the
Jones and Wilkin families, but we don't want it to end there. We are after your
kind assistance to offer photographs, dates, names, and any other details in order
to build a wealth of information regarding the events over the last 25 years.
Can you help with...
- More photographs
- Names
- Dates
- Adding or correcting any details
If you can, we would appreciate your time in getting involved and hopefully making
this website a treasure of information and memories for everyone to enjoy.
