As you may know I have been researching the history of 260 Signal Squadron (SAM) for some considerable time now. The project started away back in 2001 when I was asked to take over the running of the website. Back then I thought that this of all my tasks would be an easy one but after about a year into the project I soon realised that the project was going to be a major struggle. Since it's out-set the project has befallen many set backs not least in the availability of the Squadron Historical Records.

There have been times when I could have seen the project far enough. I had major problems with my original web page design which kept on crashing every time I tried to update the data and as a consequence lost everything and had to start all over again.

However thanks to the help and encouragement of Tim Stankus the Corps Archivist at Blandford who has been a great help to me I have persevered.

Whilst there is still much to do recent events have given rise to the thought that if I leave it any longer I'll never get the work done so I thought perhaps if I could let you have a preview of some of the work involved then perhaps you can lend a hand to help with it's progress.
