Detached there for a week in mid-70's with AEW Shack. TACO on our crew was a naval Lt Cdr, and as the wheezing bus pulled up at our accommodation (helpfully as far as possible from domestic area) he was heard to say - approximately - 'FFS; this is the same hut I lived in doing my Avenger course in 1944.' He later proved it by pointing out his initials carved on the cistern, which had obviously not been painted in the 30 odd years since his last visit. he also said the beds looked the same and were just as cold!
