My visits were few and mercifully brief, but I remember being let out of the Neat bunker to spend 45 mins with a nice 'psychologist' who wanted to understand what sort of (warped) minds were needed by the one in 10 students that passed the Intercept Controller Course at the time. Surveillance personnel (or IDROs and TPOs as they were then) were not interviewed. All sorts of random questions about thought processes and problem solving, but one corker (presumably slipped in by 11 Gp) hidden away in the middle:
"If the UKADGE were to be reconfigured so that CRC Buchan were the only available posting for ground-based Intercept Controllers, would this have any effect on your desire to stay in the Service?"
Apparently, 81% of those asked (and most of us were asked, even those at Boulmer and Buchan) said they would leave at or before their next Option Point. As we were only about 75% manned anyway, the responses had the desired effect.
Of course, if this had any impact on the decision eventually to close Buchan .... I would be very surprised!
I did hear a few years ago that the MQs at Buchan were never included in the disgraceful Portillo sell-off to the Japanese(?) due to an admin error, which presumably means that the MoD, sorry, Treasury may make some cash out of the sale? As for the bunker, I can think of worse places to site a data repository or some such.
