Falklands
37 (FI) Engineer Regt
50 Squadron
This is the main page for the squadron or unit. More info will be added here as I get the time, but for now it's a "base" for establishing comms with other members of the same unit. You can post messages for other members of the same unit using the messages link above this blurb, and you can also search for other members of this unit. Once you find them, click on their name to send an email direct to them. Please note that this website doesn't "remember" your emails, they are sent direct from you to the recipient without sappers.co.uk getting in the way. That helps you get in touch quickly and it keeps everything simple and free. Have fun. Gordon

CRE (WKS) FI
From Peter Kirwan
CRE(W)FI was repsonsible for the infrastructure rebuild after the conflict, I was attached to CRE(W)FI from 3 Fd Sqn who I had been attached to from 34 in '82 and we sailed as the last part of the Task Force on the Rangatiri Otherwise known as the Rangatraz.
I helped run the military power station behind the West Store, nothing more than a couple of 255Kw Dales, a fuel tank and a site hut on wheels scrounged up from somewhere
Hope that helps

I need more help from you all to decide how to break down the Falklands postings. Were you there as individual squadrons or were some of you under the aegis of other units?
