I don't know which canteen they were referring to.
The canteen operated latterly by Shorts was in the area where the prison is now situated, but there was another one on the RAF domestic site about a mile south of the airfield itself which we used once or twice whilst gliding at weekends; I dare say the Shorts canteen would be closed at weekends as there woud be no powered flying. .
I would assume that Shorts took over the contract from Fields when they started providing maintenance for the RAF.
