Finningley.................1985-1991

...........You could catch a blue bus from outside the camp all the way to Donny for just 10p (Salutation, Baccus, et al not forgetting the Halcross for last one before the last bus)

Taceval. As an SACW receiving an extra Duty Chaperone for getting caught by the sector rosser with 2 pillows and a pot noodle in my 14 day kit bag

Staying on the bus until the next stop to avoid the SWO who was hiding behind the camp gates with his big stick (I'd rather be late for work than face him!!)

The horrible lady in the NAFFI shop who wouldn't cash a cheque for more than a tenner!!

The milk man giving me a lift to work on the back of his float, and letting me take a yoghurt and bottle of fresh orange as I dismounted

The Pigs Bar at 5pm.......

The Cpls Club bring an erk 12 O'Clock once a month

Painting the stones white and the grass green for AFIs

Standing on gate guard with a pick axe handle

WRAF Admin

10 Main Street.......

Sneaking round the perry track to Finningley village chinese takeaway

Finningley Airshows

Sausage rolls from The NAFFI Wagon

Never seeing the FS unless it was for a bollocking

A gash trip in a Jet Provost (with a state 1!!)

Nijmegen training, which involved walking to and from Flt Lt Dick Wrights house,(in the middle of nowhere) why I don't know??

Aircrew feeder leftovers every morning

A Stn Cdr who used to pop in for a brew (Gp Capt Pitchfork)

GREAT..................thanks for the memories Finningley, my first and best posting to date
