Really enjoyed my weeks visit to Gutersloh as an Air Cadet in 89. The Harrier squadrons, the explosives demo with the 200 mtrs of det cord, the rock apes, a dodgy amusement park etc. The Bombing range was one of the best, with a couple of Jags and a few Harriers doing their stuff on an old bus. Then came the ultimate, a brace of A-10's came in and worked over the bus a few times, when we were allowed out onto the range, we were gobsmacked at what was left i.e swiss fromage.

The Naafi that was over the road by the new sports gym, and a great Pizza van nearby. Then you have those crazy, funny little WW2 german officers and the fake falling beam made for Goering.

Was it a great base to work/live at or was it just rose coloured glasses worn by a snotty little space-cadet?
