I was in Nienburg also with 21 but it was a time after your dates. Was also in Munsterlager from 88/89 till 32 moved to Hohne. Had some of the best times in my career in Munsterlager. Anyone know whats left at Munsterlager now ?

And what about Nienburg ? They had big plans for Nienburg when 21 left there but i heard that not much actually happened.

Nienburg was also a good posting for me and stayed with 21 there till they moved to Osnabruck and now Osnabruck is gone. Maybe its me as i also stayed with 21 and did the move back to Ripon.

Probably a good thing i'm out now as they wouldn't be able to move 21 completly much more i'd hope

I also served with 21, I was there from 81 - 84/5 with RHQ Troop, from what I could see from some aerial photos I found a few months ago all the blocks except 2 have gone, the gate house is still there and the parade square, but the rest has been flattened, very sad really coz Assaye Barracks was a good place, but progress rules, so they say Sad

My time in Neinburg was `63 -`67, 3 Troop 4Sqn.

It would be nice to hear from anyone from 3 troop MT at that time as I was MT NCO prior to being posted to HQ 12 Brigade as Commanders driver.

Does anyone remember for Archie Mcgraw, looking to reconnect with his daughter Julie. They were in Nienburg around 80 ish and lived in the same block as ours. Karen
