The former Redhill Bristow training school destroyed by fire.
Terminus, Alan Bristow's office was in Hangar 5 not H3 which was maintenance. H4 was the Chelsea School until it contained the Bristow FTS. H3 eventually became the Transport department after we all moved to the present main block and hangar and H5 was Logistics. Transport was in the Blister hangar across the airfield.
John you would have taken the Hiller from H3.

Oldlae, I think you have your hangars mixed up. H5 had the trenches dug for the S-61 and became the transport department and was the major maintenance hangar until the move to the main block. H6 was the FTS H7 became Serialised Components, Purchasing and Logistics.

A sad sight. I started with Bill Calthrop in that building back in the early 70's. Bristow was just starting its big expansion and the 'new' building was under-way next door. All that history lost. That's life I guess. Regards to all.
