Welcome to the Snippets page. It's success depends entirely on YOU! If you have a good yarn or story about something that happened on RAF Gan or Hitaddu, either to you or others, send `em in! It doesn't have to be funny, true or informational, just an interesting Gan tale. Good examples are shown below. All I ask is that its at least 2 paragraphs long. Let me know if you want me to edit it or leave it as it is, and also who you are, your rank/section on Gan, and if you want me to add your email address to your article. As I say, its up to you, so get writing!
