Agghhh the runway canteen, happy memories of the summer in 1970 sitting on the grass outside after lunch watching, if you were lucky, the Pan Am and TWA 747s staggering into the air defying the laws of gravity. IIRC the Pioneer club occupied a small portion of the runway canteen building and was open certain nights for social events, and it was open at lunch time on Fridays only. On Saturday nights the Pioneer Club would expand into the canteen area for dancing with live bands and I recall Joe Loss and orchestra playing there on occasions. I worked for a time behind the bar and it was very busy indeed on the nights of the dances. After clearing up on a Saturday it was an early breakfast at 1 a.m in the canteen before returning home and retiring to bed! Happy days.
