Kevin_Kibbe 4 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I am looking for anyone with copies of the "Langar Log" a Royal Canadian Air Force magazine or journal publised for Canadian military members located in Langar, Notts.This magazine was published from 1953 to 1963 monthly. I would like to scan copies of them and publish them online for people to freely view them. I could pay postage both ways for me to scan and return them to you or purchase them outright from you. Thank you very much for any help you can provide me with this project. I was born in Nottingham in 1961 and my father was a member of the RCAF in Langar from about 1958 to 1963. Regards, Kevin Kibbe Ontario Canada Quote Link to post Share on other sites

benjamin1945 16,160 Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Not got any 'Langar Logs'...............but this thread i'd not seen before......and it brings back some nice memories of a 'day and night there' in about 1959. Went by Coach from Bestwood youth club,,played them at Football,which we won,,but they slaughtered us at 'Basketball'.........Then in the evening they had a Dance night,,lots of 'Jiving' and 'Rock'n' Roll,,,,we were treated superbly.......just like being in 'Grease''.......... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,429 Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 No, never went there, Ben. Heard about the Canadian village at R.O.T when I worked at the EMEB mid 60s. Just never had a service call there. Never dreamed of going to Canada. Always thought of going to Aus, but my wife didn't want to go there. She suggested Canada instead. At the time Canada was running big ads in the paper for British tradesmen. so we decided to give it a go. Never looked back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pamela Charnley Nickols 0 Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 I have four copies of the Langar Log May and June 1953 and Feb and March 1954. I realise that the message requesting these is from several years ago but if you are still interested please let me know and I will explain how I come to have them - Pamela Charnley Nickols Quote Link to post Share on other sites
