I am attempting to locate Flt. Lt. R. Derick Smith assigned to Royal Air Force at Honington, Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, England. He was stationed here in 1958 or 1959. Also attempting to acquire his current address. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Honington/aden connection edit
During the summer of 1967, I recall as a teenager being evacuated out of Aden along with many others and accommodated in the RAF married Quarters at Honington. Sadly, after nearly 40 years I am concious that I have lost so many contacts of that period of time. I still look back fondly at those times and my fellow "teenagers" as we were then, but where have we all gone? I would love to hear from any who were a part of that time with me, both those who were evacuated back from Aden and also the "locals" who did so much to make us feel at home. My name is Jon.,(some may know me with the longer name of Jonathan) I lived with my family in Honington Rise, just up from the Jackdaw garage. Since then I have travelled a lot of miles continuing the journey around the world that so many forces families experience. Now married to a Scot I have settled into an old mining community in Fife. I can be contacted in the following ways:

Where are you? Looking forward to hearing from you.Islay 13:31, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Infobox - US name and emblem. edit
I've updated various parts of the infobox including the removal of the USAAF Station 375 title and US eighth air force emblem. My understanding is that the infobox for stations that are currently active should reflect the current situation in terms of the station's name and units present etc, so that is why I have opted for their removal - it avoids confusion as to who operates the station. The US military history associated with the station is still outlined in the main article and mentioned in site history part of the infobox. Thx811 (talk) 19:14, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
