which used to be held in the 'Central repository' at 7 MU south of Gloucester
The Central Depository' was RAF Mildenhall in the late 1940's. That was where the silver for all the squadrons that had been disbanded after the II World War had been deposited.
One day a clutch of 3 tonners arrived with RAF markings. The drivers had a wad of paperwork authorising them to remove a large quantity of silverware. This was done and a few days later some ex war surplus sale 3 tonners were found abandoned in the countryside,---minus the silverware.
