Ternhill
Hi RAFRAAF,
Ternhill '87 it was probably Para Regt (SAS at Hereford, where they have now taken over ex-RAF Credenhill). Army infantry units are now based there (they move about a bit). Becuase they don't have as many officers as the RAF in the units they send there, the Army pulled down the two wings of the Officers' Mess. The immediate impact of this was to reduce the length of the motorbike race track at Guest Nights!
The 'Sunshine' Hangar still has a hole in the roof, courtesy of A Hitler & Co. There is a gliding school there and Shawbury uses it as an RLG (unfortunately, a good mate met his end there a few years ago in a mid-air). Nice prison just down the road
Ternhill, which became Tern Hill, was my first station after training and I hold very fond memories of it.
