Oh I see, it's okay with sheep but not us. You'll be hearing from my lawyer and my wife Dolly.

Yer know, there's nowt worse than a jealous Scaley, (no wonder them Wirral people are called Woolybacks).

Now thats sheepist.

A very good point Chris. We don't want to miss out on any information because the contributor objects to being named. Mind you I am intrigued as to why anyone would not want credit for supplying info?

Mike

I'm not sure either, but I would hate to miss some info on that basis though. I have a couple that want to remain anonymous. [/quote]

I have just uploaded 2 photos of Belfast barracks Osnabruck could some one let me know if they are on site

I am indebted to Roger for his comments on my article. Green Archer as I remember being told by an RA but it was a long time ago! Maybe Roger would give its proper name.

Hi Chaps

This is really for teabag

As a very new (old) member I think the site is great, have been trawling through all the pages I can, picking up on things of interest, there is one thing however, I did read amongst the pages about trying to help people trying to find loved one relatives etc, I have also seen in a lot of cases where you can you try to guide them to a web address, as I feel these bits of info are probably very helpful, when they are put on site would it not be possible to put them in some kind of bank so that when these people came to the site for info, instead of trawling through hundreds of entries they could just look down a list. May not be possible for lots of reasons, but just a thought

Thanks for a great site

It`s very possible and a good idea.The only problem is finding someone to do it..All the admins seem to have vanished apart from Steve.

Ah, it's not just me then !

I've been trying to send a couple of articles in for a while now but have had no success.

(There used to be an excellent website called "artillery-friends" that suddenly collapsed, it would be tragic to see this one go the same way).

It certainly would Brum..There is far to much info on here to lose...

It would be a disaster if this Site disappeared, I was on a OCA Site where the Mod unfortunately passed away, he had all the Passwords etc which went with him. Anyone got any ideas how to prevent this?

Over to you Steve...You seem to be the only admin around at the moment..

Good morning Gordon and all
Mike_2817 is the Guard Commander I’m the NCO IC marching relief’s and to be honest do not have the knowledge to manage the forum...regarding BAOR Locations just an editor and will try and update the main site when free time is available but I’m still working full time...have contacted Mike privately and awaiting a reply will also get in touch with Webmaster Phil as believe more editors are needed to work on transferring detail and images to the main site from the forum
Best regards
Steve

Thanks for that update Steve, sounds encouraging.

Hello all, Sorry I have been AWOL but life has been overtaking my various activities of late, but I am back on-board for at least a few hours a week, which is what I first promised Phil to ensure that the site did not develop any faults, and I have indeed popped in from time to time, but not always logged in.

As Steve says, we need more active editors to help maintain the BAOR site, as numbers have dropped of.

Steve has the same level of password access I have on this site, but it is registered to Webmaster Phil, who also still pays the web fees.
I am however able to give others Moderator or Editor Status, But to your credit you are a fairly self disiplened lot, and I wish I could say that of some other forums!

Yes, we ARE quite well-behaved, aren't we ?
I wonder if it's an "age" thing ?

It's nice to know there is still someone at the helm, Mike. My question is, can I contribute to the "Locations" ? All attempts so far have failed. I have memories of Nienburg and Trauen which may be of some small value.

Brum...hope I have this correct...everything has to come through the Forum only Editors have access to BAOR Locations and as we are an Open Forum and email addresses should not be displayed if you do not wish to post your memories here send me a private message and I send my email address
All the best
Steve

Or post your memories in this Sub-Forum and an Editor can contact you via PM or e-mail you via the site message system if further details are needed. (e-mail address remains confidential)

It might be appropriate to pay tribute to Mike and Steve for saving this excellent site when Philip, the original webmaster found he no longer had the time to carry out this demanding role following the completion of an important career course, promotion and a posting to a demanding operation role (including Afghanistan), the needs of his young family and his ambition to create a new home (house renovation) for himself and his family.

Thanks to to the General Staff (senior members) who with their tact and good humour keep the junior ranks in order and lob in the occasion hand grenade of a topic when things get slack

Good to that we can attract new contributors from time to time who raise a subject in which we can all identify and contribute. The Tasmania based Ferret Scout Car springs to mind, Bob Ritter,s amazing tales of 27 CIB in Hannover is the latest

Me I lack the computer skills to take on the Editorial tasks,and will have to content myself as a Senior Investicative Reporter to Steve (no phone hacking) as well as carrying out my own researches into favourite subjects such as the BAOR Troop Trains, the BAOR Post Codes, BAOR Rand R which I publish from time to time

I have just come into the web page and noticed the mention of Green Archer.I saw Green Archer in operation in the Radfan Mountains in Pegasus Camp,Habilayn.Is there anymore information on this piece of equipment and is there any photographs available on the web page.

We aim to please

Thought you'd gone Demob, hope that isn't aimed at 150 Edmiston Drive!! Here you are, Jock:-

Hi,
I am new to this web site. I was searching for historical information on 226 Signals Squadron (Radio) which I served in from 1973 to 1979 at Wesendorf. I was on the formation parade upon the amalgamation with 225 Signals squadron to from 14 Signals Regiment (EW). Is this the place to add information or can you direct me to the appropriate location.

Thank you
