Chief Technician Puczynski. Photo - Laura Gunn. (Later 01st June 2020) Interestingly a bit of a cockup with this image. I got it off the Bovingdon Remembered Facebook Site and assumed it was Bovingdon. Today I came across this Photograph:

Image from BBMF website: Hurricane LF363 at The Battle of Britain Flight's base at Martlesham Heath not Bovingdon in 1959. By coincidence LF363 was apparently based at Bovingdon in 1951 with Fighter Command Comms Squadron. (Should know by now never to assume anything!)

The following photographs were taken by David Taylor RAF Aerodrome Fireman and date from the late nineteen-fifties.

A porch is constructed to keep out the fumes from the ramp. A station inspection by The AOC is pending.
