Hi,
My father was in the radar section of several AMES units near Alexandria.I have many photos of him and his unit in their camp and I believe the Caves at somewhere beginning with T? He was involved in plotting possibly, but I do not know much else. He was called Graham Walsh. I would love to find out more about his time in Egypt and am happy to share photos.

Hi,

Do you know the number of the AMES unit your father was in?
My grandfather was in AMES 251 and I think he was based at a place called Wadi Natrun in the Alexandria /El Alamein area.
I’d like to find out more about my grandfather’s war years but I am making slow progress.

Thanks

Mojo - Have you tried applying to the RAF for your grandfathers service records?

My father was at Wadi Natrun with 251 AMES. The photo is of him and crew in his tent.
I'd be curious to see your pictures

Some images of Dad in Alexandria in WW2 - I have more and will add them later. He was based in and around Alexandria and the Caves at Tura.

Hi Cabanabouy,

Do you have any more photos or info on Ames 251? I was wondering if my grandfather appears in any of your crew photos.
I’ll have to dig out what little info I have on my grandfather and try to see if it matches anything you have?

Thanks

Hi,

Just to add a little more info.My grandfather was William(Bill or Billy) Francis Moore. He seems to have been with AMES 251 from formation up to maybe 1943 or 44. He was later stationed at Heliopolis and then Yorkshire when he returned to the UK.

Thanks
