Bradford
TA - 106 Sqn
Previously this squadron was only listed as part of TA- 72 Engr, but I have now been told that it has formed part of 72, 73 and 75 Engr Regt at various times so I have created it separately. If you have any info or history to tell me about, I'd really appreciate it. REgards Gordon
TA - 272 Sqn (v)
This was the support squadron for 73 Regt I believe? Let me know if you have any more info on it, please. REgards, Gordon
