This page was created (if you can call it that) by; Tony Sirrell - (Ex-R.A.F.) (30 yrs older above, though not neccessarily wiser!!)
Service - 1970-1992. Trade - Telegraphist.
I joined the R.A.F. in 1970, went to RAF Swinderby for square bashing, then on to RAF Cosford for my trade training. My first posting was to Prestwick in Ayrshire, after 15 months there, I was posted to paradise.
After Gan I was posted to RAF Finningley, 33 SU Ayios Nikolaos Cyprus, RAF Fylingdales, RAF Tongeren/Joc Maastricht, RAF Rudloe Manor, RAF Gibraltar, RAF Rudloe Manor, Norway (Afnorth), RAF Rudloe Manor, with various detachments over the years.
I was out in Gan from March-December 1972 in Commcen Gan (Siggie Siggie Siggie) - (I won't print the response!!)
"Not Having" and "I Hacked It" are terms that always stay in my mind.
Have a look at the photographs on the following pages. (Maybe one of them will bring back a memory.)
Even if you are not an ex-Gannite, but are ex-military or still serving, I hope you enjoy it anyway.
Came out of the RAF in 1992, now living in South Gloucestershire and working for Avon & Somerset police.
Drop me a line, if you like at the e-mail address below.

Best wishes

The weather on Gan is continuous sunshine for about 10 months of the year, the other 2 months or so are called the monsoon season. It rains for most of this 2 months, and boy, when it rains it rains, so if you are thinking of going out for a holiday to Gan or the Maldives, then do your homework weather wise. During the monsoon season it is hard to tell where the islands finish and the sea begins!
