I never knew there was a Shorts Canteen, but there were quite a lot of their people servicing the Fighter and Coastal Com Flt aircraft. In fact there very few airmen at Bovingdon in 1961/2. I used to bring back Mushrooms for the Bovingdon Officers Mess, which grew in amazing numbers on the airfield at RAF ST Mawgan and Kippers from Stornoway when I flew to them in the Coastal Com Flt Ansons
