Ordynants, there are lots of FQ's at Scampton for the Military (1 needs a rebuild after a fire), basically the old Officers patch is still all military (except a couple of the really big one's) and half the airmans patch. Some 192 houses of which approx 75 look empty. They need updating, most still have single glazed metal windows. just need to build about 400 more, as they have sold off the remnants of Hemswell and Kirton Lindsey.

The civvies who bought the cheap houses (Quality not price) don't look too happy. But on the good side, maybe the Spar shop will start charging proper prices once the base builds up. (At Waddo 4pts milk = £1.07, same bottle at Scampton is £1.27)

For the Old Scamptonites, the old Blue Steel Servicing Hangar (later SADSU) has been demolished.
