Committee News

Following the decision by Neil Pickles and Bry Kingston - both founder members of the Association - to step down from the Committee, Mike Mulvaney has agreed to be our new President and, while in Spain, Alan Robson was proposed, seconded and elected as Secretary. As one of the first RAF linguists who trained at Kidbrooke, Mike is known by many as an instructor at the schools and from his time in Berlin, while Alan Robson has spent many years in ‘The Trade’ - on 51 Squadron, in Berlin and at Digby.
