No 8 Squadron Association has been formed to perpetuate the comradeship and spirit that has always existed on our Squadron.  Anyone who has served or is serving with the Squadron, in whatever rank, is eligible to join the Association.  The Association is administered by a committee whose members, as at 1st November 2006, are as follows:

President:
Chairman:
OC 8 Squadron:
Secretary:
Member:
Member:
Squadron Liaison:
Air Marshal G A Robertson CBE BA FRSA RAF (Retd)
Wing Commander P F J Burton AFC RAF (Retd)
Wing Commander A T Martin MDS BSc(Hons) RAF
Flight Lieutenant M R Hunter RAF (Retd)
Squadron Leader C G Richardson WKhM RAF (Retd)
Squadron Leader S Davis MBE RAF (Retd)
Flying Officer E Yarnall RAF
The Association publishes a Newsletter on a regular basis (currently twice a year) and organises the reunions (usually early May).  HM Treasury rules dictate that we are to be self-financing and therefore the Committee has set up an initial membership fee of £10:00.  This covers both the cost of joining and membership for the first year.  Thereafter, annual subscriptions are £5:00, collected by standing order on 8th February.  Subscriptions cover the production of the Newsletter and general administration charges, and are also used to defray expenses at the reunion.  In previous years, No 8 Squadron has contributed to the costs of the weekend.

An application form and standing order form can be found using the links under the Squadron crest on this page.  Please complete the application form, this will be passed directly to the Hon Secretary.  Also, please print and complete the standing order form and send it to your bank/building society.  Thank you.
