    I remember hearing about RAF Cluntoe when I lived in Cookstown. Jumped on my bike and pedalled out there for a look about. Found the Control Tower(this was late 1980's) but there wasn't much else. Around 92 I worked for a Milkman in those parts and there was an old local guy who remembered it as a very busy airfield. Can't imagine theres much there these days.

    I asked because I was RSM of 2UDR Armagh and spent time with 11UDR in Belfast, I thought I may have known her. I had great respect for the girls, in many cases they were better than the men, especially on one occasion near Middletown involving a fatality due to ambush. They were also often better on the Radio. H
    Greetings: Your profile says you were the 'son of a Greenfinch' do you mind saying what Bn of the UDR she was? Best wishes HD
