I was the Training Officer on 311 Blue running 4 weeks behind you. My office was in the same barack block my father had lived in when he trained there in the 1930s

Re the Pickle Factory, it was named the pickle fatctory when it was first built in the 1930s because it was built on the wrong airfield, should have been Hendon. My father in law had been there on the Parachute Trials Unit in 1933. My wife's grandfather had been the SWO when the Station Commander took the parade on his horse! The black hangar where the TSR2 had been stored was on the Henlow road near the farm.
