Gee...
So many known names...Great fights in WB, those were the days...We were so many at 249 RAF that we had to create 601 RAF. We formed a Wing, Tangmere Wing, with the 312, 612 and 56...I think we reached 100 in total at one point...
I remember vividly the Scanian Griffins, our WB nemesis, and JG27. And, of course, all the others before mentioned.
I can't remember exactly when I started in WB, I believe it was in 1997, and 249 already existed for a couple of years.
Never left the squadron, not even for one day. I even kept my callsign from WB...Some of our founders still fly, even that only ocasionally.
Spent 3 joysticks in 10 years.
That's all folks! all,
Sparow
