THE GREAT GALLERY - ROOM 50
EXERCISE GB4ASS and GB4SNF
1st June 2006 to 7th June 2006
Colerne
After the high profile events of 2004 &
2005 anything following is perhaps rather
an anticlimax, however, certain members
the team who had missed out wanted a
repeat for 2006 so with some reluctance
and persuasion it was accepted that an
approach would be made through the
then CO Lt Col "Olly" D G Halstead at
an Air Formation Signals Association
Committee Meeting held on the 16th
March 2006 in the Officers’ Mess - and approved.
The events of the Operation were fully recorded in "MERCURY" No. 144, July 2006.
