591 Signals Unit is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. Unit personnel have decided to complete a 188 mile cycle ride linking all previous 591 SU home locations since being formed in 1952.The unit was formed at RAF Wythall, near Birmingham on 1 Jun 1952 and soon moved to RAF Medmenham near the River Thames. It finally moved to RAF Digby in 1955 and has been monitoring RAF communications security ever since.
The cycle ride has been named 'Exercise Historical Ride' and will commence at Dansefield House, the former officers mess at RAF Medmenham and the only element of the old RAF Station still standing. We will then head North towards Wythall, now a Transport Museum before our final leg to RAF Digby.We intend to complete the ride in 3 days with a team of 10 cyclists and 2 support personnel.
If you have some coffers to spare, please sponsor my mate at his site.
