	The History of RAF Tangmere (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Tangmere’s pilots and ground crews were keen to find out how to fly and maintain their new machines, as were all squadrons who had been issued with them.
		Tangmere and other RAF stations were put on a war footing and their front-line squadrons were prepared for battle as, later, were the auxiliary squadrons that supported them.
		Tangmere's 605 (Auxiliary) Squadron was partly equipped with obsolete Gloster Gladiator biplanes, evidence that First World War technology still had a part to play in the coming conflict.

		After the end of the war the RAF (Royal Air Force) conducted research and experiments, but finally decided that the method was too dangerous and halted its development.
		The French and British soldiers, finally accustomed to the screaming attacks of the dive bombers, resisted admirably, defending the city until almost all the British and many of the French soldiers could be evacuated over sea.
		At the same time, the operations of the RAF to protect the evacuation caused heavy losses for the attackers, although a large number of ships was sunk or damaged.

		It was nice, too, that members of the present RAF Linguists, now stationed at DISC Chicksands were present, under their Warrant Office r Ian Black, and among them was a Servicewoman, who presented flowers to Her Majesty's Lord Lieutenant of Cornwall, Lady Mary Holborow, JP, who performed the unveiling of the plaque.
		He then went down to RAF Tangmere in the spring of 1961, where he joined Course 33R, which assembled at the Language School on the base.
		Reflecting on his RAF service today, almost 45 years' later, despite the hard fact of Service life brought about by war, Squadron over-stretch, family separation and the long waiting lists for a married quarter at Gatow [which still rankles], he has no doubt that it was a great experience and that he enjoyed it.

		The Museum has an intimate atmosphere lacking in many other museums of this kind; perhaps this is due to the enthusiasm of the volunteers who run the museum - many of whom were wartime RAF pilots, navigators and groundcrew.
