REU Henlow Museum Closure

I was saddened to hear that the Radio Museum at Radio Engineering Unit is eventually closing down (after a short reprieve).
Stuart G0TBI our Shack & RAF Cosford Liason will be auctioning off much of the radio equipment (with his VMARS auctioneer hat on) which made the museum so very interesting. The auction is due to take place on the 20 May 2023, but I don't have the exact timings to hand.

I had two tours of RAF Henlow. First tour was in late 1976, working in building 132 EES EWEF. My 2nd tour working for GRIS in 1980's following my fitters course.



I rather doubt anyone reading this will be able to identify anyone in the EWEF section photo, taken during my first tour, but one can never tell. OC EES, Sqn Ldr Griffiths is pictured center. I am above and to the left.
