Hello ehbg,
Thank you for your reply. I have just noticed an error in the date of my visit to Monchengladbach. It was in fact 23 May 1973 not 1972. Doh
I have therefore edited my postings to show the corrected date. So, consequently, your information for 23.07.1973 and Wolfman's previous posting for 23.07.1972 (weird being exactly one year apart) are very useful. Strange I did not log any ex-Aeronavale C-45s on my visit. I guess they must have arrived in the 2 months between the 2 dates.
Again, rather spookily, today I received an email from the person who posted the photo images on the Air Britain website, taken in September 1975. He confirms Pembrokes 5401, 5404, 5408, 5409, 5410, 5411, 5412, 5415 and 5428 were present in September 1975 along with Broncos D-9549, D-9550, D-9551, D-9559 and D-9560 plus Harvard AA+633. Also seen were D0-27s 5731 and 5748 and P-149Ds 9101, 9212 and 9221.
Can anyone add to these sightings at this airfield in 1972 or 1973 ?
I would be interested to find out the name of the military unit or if civilian Company who occupied Monchengaldbach airfield at this time if anybody knows also.
Many thanks.
