RNAS Yeovilton was taken over by Waddington as a dispersal, recall Wattisham, Brawdy, Valley, Manston, Leuchars, Machrihanish to be amonst the dispersals we had visited Wattisham and Manston in 1967 and served at Machrihanish 1968/69, I was the Gen Fitt had a ground leccy and an MT Fitt as permanent staff. What a life! I shut Machrihanish down being the last to leave with an MT Fitt Sgt Tug Wilson and a tear in my eye, we drove a land rover and a big yellow caravan back, night stopping in Carlisle en-route to Waddo, quick fitters course at Saints then did a year at Valley 1969/70 and then relieved at Leuchars for a month late 1970 before offing to the ultimate 'V' dispersal in the snow RAF(U) Goose Bay. What a life started off as an 18 year old SAC and finished up as a JT. Goose to Cranwell early 1972, very much of a culture shock... then out early 1973 thank you! Off to Rhodesia to renew the 44Sqdn friendship on to BAe in Saudi and now still dealing with MoD on a day to day basis.
