Can you help with the history of 621 VGS?

621 VGS Glider with Weston-Super-Mare

This year 621 VGS Celebrates its 65th anniversary. We are writing a full history of the Gliding Squadron and would like to hear from anyone who may have memories (first- or second-hand), documents or reminiscences of 621VGS formerly 87GS. In addition to the various highlights in its history, we are planning to include as full a list as possible of all staff (qualified and under training) who have served, and gliders used.

All information, though seemingly unimportant, will be very welcome but, as we have very little information of the 1940's, 50's or 60's, details from this period would be particularly welcome. Gliding log books, press cuttings and flying programmes, photographs and so on may all hold the information that we are looking for.
