By 1953 the R.A.F. Eindhoven Control Tower had been partially rebuilt.

In 1953 my parents had become honorary civilian members at the R.A.F. Eindhoven sergeant's mess, and our father had taken up business in Eindhoven as his new career.

Hi, Thanks for bringing your story and photos to the site. Hard to take in that the families and children were soon over in Europe so early>
The Dutch have a reputation for caring for the Allie's Graves, where ever they were.
Did your family stay in Holland after serving?
Thanks for the 3 Posts.
Regards Alan

Subject: Eindhoven closure 1962 15/8/2024, 16:28
Hi there, I am the daughter of an airman who was stationed at Eindhoven when it closed in 62. As a family we lived in Eindhoven in a flat. I wondered if anyone else recalled the closure. I am remembering that my dad said that there were some items that they were allowed to have as each building was closed, pictures, china, that sort of thing. Does anyone else recall this. My dad was Andrew Cruickshank (Jock or Andy. Thank you. Sonia
