Seeing all those bastard grunt trucks parked on 'our' ASP
Looks more like a container port than a military unit. What a complete waste of an excellent Station.

We were always strict to observe noise abatement rules for the benefit of the locals
I seem to recall that didn't stop one senior retired Army Officer from regularly phoning up and complaining about the noise...... until the Station Commander at the time had a few choice words with him. If he's still living he's probably entirely happy with the current state of affairs.

Only got to spend 3 years there but they were the best 3 years of my time in the RAF.
