This is a message for all those who manage Entry websites.
I have been through most of the entry websites from selecting on the Entries Page of HAAA website and several Entry Websites do not connect or have an Error 404 meaning that website link is no longer active.

Could all those administrating their entry website please ensure the links are correct and working please.
Many Thanks

Flt Lt Ian James 'Jock' Muirhead DFC

am researching information concerning my late Uncle, Flt/Lt Ian Muirhead DFC who joined the RAF in 1929 in the 20th Entry at Halton as an aero engine fitter. His first posting was to 29 Sqd and then 151 at North Weald. After being commissioned he joined 605Sqd but was killed in action 15 October 1940. I would appreciate any information you have, in particular photographs of his early pre war years. I am constructing a Wordpress site to celebrate his life and the coming 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. You can see the work in progress at

Hi there,
my father Edgar Brian Watts born 17th April 1928 was a "haltonion RAF brat" of 48th entry 579744.

I regret to advise that my father passed away in Logan Hospital, Bethania, Qld, Australia on 12th December 2019. His last address was 103 Federation Drive Bethania Qld Australia 4205

Dad had many fond memories of Halton and his experiences, most of which he recorded in diaries.

Lots of mentions of life freinds Frank "Ferdy" Sowerbutts & "Skid" Gordon, to name a few.

We will be having a memorial service for him on 10th January 2020 at the Bethania Lutheran Church.

If any one wishes to send cards etc in remembrance, please send to my self at:

178-188 Redwood Circle
Jimboomba Qld Australia 4280

phone: 0755477352
mob: 0407848109

Warmest Regards
Fred Watts (proud oldest son of Edgar Brian)

THE RUMOURS THAT THE ASSOCIATION HAS CLOSED ARE INCORRECT AND I PLAN TO OFFER A COMPREHENSIVE UPDATE IN THE HALTONIAN/NEWSLETTER DURING THE WEEKS AHEAD.

To all HAA Members
This is just to bring to your notice that the 2018 AGM minutes were published on this site. Look under the HOME tab at the lower right of the screen.

Don't forget the Association's AGM is on the 21st September 2019. Please check your membership status before contacting the Secretary to book your place.

RAFHAA Mar 2019 Newsletter

Our Newsletter arrived on our web server in good order.
However, on pressing the send button the email bulk server caused mayhem by inserting strange hieroglyphs into our document. How or why this occurred is as yet not known but I must apologise to all who received this email. If a clear document is required please email me using the IT address contained on the back page of the Haltonian. Depending of the number of requests it may take some time to get back to you. Once again I am sorry to cause you problems.

Hello to all,

I was fortunate enough to be in the first mechanics entry 401 in October 1969.

It's disappointing that there is not an independent or site linked web site for this fairly historic entry. Whilst Im not savvy enough to build a linked 401 dedicated site, Im certainly not beyond asking for either assistance or indeed for other members of this entry to contact me. If memory serves me right I was in H flight.....

I look forward to continuing my links with the site and to hearing from other members of 401, wherever you are all hiding.

As the Chairman's letter was cut short (without warning) it will be published unter the 'NEWS' tab within the next day or so.
