| Steve,
As you can see, the site is very much work in progress, and bits and pieces of information such as you mention are very welcome.
On a quick look-see it seems that 54 Sqn have quite a history, and were in Minden at some stage as 54 Engineer Support Squadron RASC in the 1950's.
If you have any details such as dates the Sqn was in BAOR/BFG, or know where they can be found, please let us know.
Paul. |

| The first time the area was used for mili. was in 1750 as "Exerzierplatz der preußischen Garnison Minden"
In 1914 it became a prisoner-of-war camp
In 1936 "Peschke Flugzeugwerkstätten Gmbh Minden" was foundet in Minden to repair airplains
In 1945 the brit. force take over the area for the St. Georges Barracks. But at the westend area the "Stark Turbulent" was build by "Radio Stark"
In 1983 the helicopter hanger was build by the Brittish
And in 1994 the Brittish leave the area |

I think you will find Hoppy that it was first produced in 1957.
I hope this picture works for you, click on the link below!
If you Google Stark Turbulant you will find a lot of details there. Good luck.
Oh as a passing thought I was at St Georges Barracks with 12 Sqn RCT 1981-84...Good times hic hic. |
