pirx Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Hello everybody, I´m new here and this is my first post. I want to show you this website: http://www.sg-etuo.de/ This site is run by the people I spent my youth with behind the fences at RAF Gütersloh. I hope you like it. New photos will be added nearly every day. Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Hi, welcome to the forums. I do like your site, some nice pics and videos on there. Also gives me a chance to practice my German. Cheers, Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Superb site, and some rare Harriers lurking there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousAA72 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Superb site, and some rare Harriers lurking there!! On the opening "what's new" page there's a fantastic photo of IV Sqns XZ993/"M" - with that "blunted Phimat pod" - did anyone find out what it was? Also I'd assume its a ground display thing - practise LGB's with non-flying 1000 lbers by the look of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain goat Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Hi, Has anyone also seen this? My daily visit to this very handy resource (of all things Harrier especially) was today greeted with these words: "We moved Documentation of Gütersloh Airfield History will now be done by Verein zur Dokumentation der Geschichte des Flugplatz Gütersloh e.V.. You can reach the new website via vdlgt.de." I went to the site and found no pics and nothing resembling the former picture database. Let's hope it'll return soon in some way..!

bbudde Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hi and hallo. I just link this to a Harrier question in another topic here. Maybe you know more about that question: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234977216-interesting-harrier-pic/ Grüße aus NRW.

bzn20 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Willkommen pirx I used to fly in (VC-10 C.Mk1) to Gut. every 6 weeks from Decci, Sardinia back in the 80's. Sometimes I used to stay in Sundern. Great memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Wilson Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Spent 78-79 on 3 at Gut. Put me off camping for life. BZN, I went to Decci on David Lord as I remember in '78. Edited February 25, 2015 by Dave Wilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain goat Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 One of the URLs used by the former site, guetersloh-spotters.de, is now used by a bird spotting group. Also their Flickr account is gone (unless I've missed it during searching). Shame about that! Even airliners dot net couldn't compare with the wealth of documentation this site had to offer. It gave not only a fairly comprehensive impression of RAFG materiel in the Cold War, but of several other NATO air forces as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I suspect someone's seen the opportunnity to commercialise the site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbudde Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 @Dave: Jepp, it seems to be so. Sales for a calendar are even now on the site. But I will wait, if they put the old pictures back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain goat Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Can anyone tell me how to contact the people behind this former website please. The website still exists but is completely empty apparently. I already contacted the admin at piwi address on the redirect page but have had no reply.

Bedders Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I too would like to track down this website again. My dad was at Gut in the 50s and I gave the site some pix of Meteors, which they put up. Shame the whole site has disappeared - it had great photos of pretty much the whole RAF inventory over the BAFO/2TAF/RAFG decades. Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrixMis Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) It's a pity I didn't have a camera as a teenager - was there from '77 to '80 with the family. My old man was with 4sqn RIC and I used to spend every holiday and whenever else I could at the bunker on "Handbrake Hill" with my bino's, perfecting my recognition skills (which was between 18 sqn hangar and the runway - perfect location and absolute paradise for a young planespotter). Often used to 'share' the hill with the rock apes, who used to set up a Rapier detachment on it now and then. Very friendly bunch of chaps, but some were a bit rusty on their recognition! PS - there is an FB page for RAF Güt, with some photo's on it, too, from various eras. https://www.facebook.com/Rafgutetsloh/ Good ere, innit? (Gütersloh saying - the response to which was "Could be better, coudn't it") Edited January 25, 2022 by BrixMis PS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
