Woodvale Memories
I had two weeks at RAF Woodvale in 1957.
It was the Annual "Boy Entrants" Cosford Summer Camp.
I remember skiving off from playing Sports and other activities to sneak out
and watch the last Spitfires and Mosquitos operating.
"Met" flight I think.
From memory it rained 12 days out of the 14.
We were all fed up, under Canvas, average age about 16 so always hungry!!! fed by Army field kitchens.
The whole "Camp" area was a health hazard.
Only worthwhile part for me was watching the Aircraft operating.
PS
The next year, if I am correct, was the last Boy Entrant "Camp". Muted to be due to it being a health risk after outbreaks of variouis "Bug" disorders.
