This photo was taken near the Base Exchange at Evreux sometime during the summer of 1961. Do you know who owned this Lotus 7 car? (Several people, including Phil, have now identified Phil Handley as the owner during his days as a Lieutenant with the 40th TCS.)

This 1964 pamphlet is similar to those sent to us when we were getting ready to transfer to Evreux-Fauville Air Base, France. It is a guide to the facilities available on the base and in the surrounding area. Click on the photo to view the document. Be patient. It is a large file - it will take some time to download.

"Snuffy Smith", C-119 999, flew missions from Evreux for 6 months in 1954-55 with Bill Hatfield as aircraft commander. The aircraft and crew were from the 773d TCS at Ardmore, Oklahoma. Bill recalls that the base then had only a runway, hangar, 3-4 open bay barracks, mud streets and a community mess hall.

This 1999 photo shows the building which was the Pergola, a favorite Evreux 'watering hole' for many of the Evreux Alumni. There were no clubs when the base first opened so the Pergola filled a needed void at that time and remained popular for several years.
