Were the Royal Engineers involved in the Berlin Airlift?

[classicgirl]

Hi

Does anybody know what regiments were involved in the Berlin Airlift Please?

My family have a photo of my uncle at the control centre allegedly talking to pilots during this time.

Just wanting to try and prove if it was possibly true or not. We all know how things get warped in the telling 

My Uncle was in the Royal Engineers

Cheers

A quick web search says Yes:

You might contact the RE museum http://www.re-museum.co.uk/

While this may sound like a recruiting poster, there are vanishingly few operations of that sort that didn't/don't have Royal Engineer involvement.  Airfield repair, bridges, temporary buildings, shifting stores with heavy plant, logistics control etc etc  - they do it.
