Based in the picturesque rural village of Greywell, Hampshire, England, "The Association of 198 Squadron RAF Pilots & Ground Crews" was originally formed in 2002 as a way of bringing together former Squadron personnel and recording their memories and recollections.
Initially there were fourteen members, all of whom contributed one way or another to this website, but sadly their number has slowly dwindled away to seven, by 2008, as some have passed away.
Since its formation "Association" members have taken part in several documentary television films and contributed to various books and other historical media regarding 198 Squadron RAF.
Their combined knowledge of the Squadron and its activities has on occasions dispelled some official errors and historical myths surrounding it that have often been presented as facts.

NOTES ON GREYWELL
The parish, although the smallest in the district, contains many buildings of special interest, which include the thirteenth century church of St. Mary with its Norman chancel and north door, the Malt House with its oversailing upper storey supported on curved brackets, and Greywell Mill, an old flour mill reputed to have been working until circa 1935. The village of Greywell lies on the west bank of the River Whitewater, and has an unusual and charming character all its own, recognised by the designation of much of the village as a conservation area. Greywell Canal Tunnel contributes its own special feature to the parish and is now a protected roost for a colony of bats.
