We had our 2nd 16 Sqn Bucc Groundcrew reunion in Weeze last October down in "Kevins Bar" We had a fantastic weekend and Kevin would like you all to come back!

With regard to Laarbruch, it has been kept in a very tidy condition due to the airport. All the grass is cut regularly and if you drove from the camp entrance down to the terminal building it looks just like it did when the base was open.

The buildings are gradually being taken over by German and Dutch companies and the blocks on "Singly Strasse" are in the main, filled with Poles who work for a German cleaning company. The old Sgts mess is now called the "Royal Officers Club" and is rented out for functions. On the airfield side, the old 16 Sqn site by the QRA (sorry, don't know the Harrier Sqn which used it) is used as storage and a printing company has the main hanger. This side of the airfield is being used and is also kept tidy. However, the old 15 Sqn site over by the ATC tower is one huge building rubble site. The Golf course is completely overgrown and you would not think that one existed there.

We were impressed by what we saw and hopefully the Weeze council will make a success of it. There is also a museum which will be opening in March that is situated in the old church up by the cinema. They are also looking for things to put into it. We supplied photo's and a few other "gizzits".

Nothing better than being on the north german plains, late at night looking at the stars through the holes in the roof of the tent. The cold war was such a happy time.

Sennelager, possibly the worst lager in the world.
