An enjoyable ATC camp spent there in 1969, pre modernisation so were were in wooden huts! Great Chipmunk flying low level over the moors to the north; Ilfracombe not far away; 'flying' the Hunter sims, trips through Saunton Sands in the DUKWs from Fremington and an airshow on the last saturday.
Must be Oxon/Bucks and Berks Wing. My ATC squadron were there that year also, possibly the same week, our C.O. would not let us stay for the airshow!

Our Chipmunk flight got us out of the night exercise but to make up for that, we had an extra go at the assault course.
