Buntingsdale Hall was HQ 22 Group, Flying Training Command at least from mid 1968 until after 1971,

AVM Digger Magill, fresh from his Report on the future of the UASs, was AOC all UASs plus some ground training and, we ran the CAACUs, (Civil Anti-Aircraft Control Units?) which flew Vampires and Meteors at Exeter and Woodvale, particularly for the benefit of the Fleet.

In regard to the Green Lady, we once had a ghost hunt late at night. She was there, very pronounced, glowing on the wall of the landing on the stairs. We found that an outside street lamp shone through an old window pane, and hit the wall on the stairs at just the right focal length. If the light was distorted, the Ghost changed shape. Even so, it was scary.

The Hall was a very pleasant way to spend a ground tour. Got 48 flying hours in the tour.
