To be honest Airscream, I was in the process of writing a book on RAF Colerne (honest!), but my long and thankless pursuit of my ATPL has interrupted my research. Maybe one day I'll finish it (the book and ATPL), the information comes from various sources, a request in Flypast magazine a few years ago gave me stacks of feedback from ex-RAF guys, a few trips to the PRO at Kew London to read the old Station WW2 ORBs. And Colin Cummings series on RAF accident books was a huge source of info etc etc. The funny thing is that I have never had a PROPER visit around the actual base itself! plenty of times passed it, and over it. I did fly in there once in 1993 when I just got my PPL, but I was driven from my C152 to the ATC tower charged a F**** off huge landing fee and driven back to the aircraft! alas no tour. Any one in a position to give any visits send me an Email!!!!!
