- History
- 2000, September: Relocated to Village Green in Caythorpe. Caythorpe was chosen as veterans and 216 Signal Squadron members meet on the first weekend of every September here. During the relocation, the strops used to lift the stone onto a forklift could not be removed after replacing the stone at Caythorpe and so these were allowed to remain underneath it. c1999: Relocated from Arnhem Barracks to Goojerat Barracks
