What about the overseas bases?
My first ever school was at RAF El Adem, Tobruk, Libya. Flew there in a Comet via Malta where we stopped for tea! Prior to that my Dad was stationed in Tripoli.
El Adem was great, we lived in Tobruk and were bused to school every day. The NAAFI was in an old white fort on the outskirts of town and the RAF used to lay on 5 tonners to take us to the beach at weekends. Back then, personnel were allocated beaches based on rank. Airmens beach, Sgts beach etc. Our beach had a Cafe, nice secluded swimming area and some great fishing spots. The airmens beach was a shack on a huge expanse of rough coastline. You would not get away with that today.
