So would I AA. I must admit it brings back memories, not all of them wonderful! I do recall however being on parade on occasions listening to trains leaving Kingswear Stn and wondering which GWR steam locomotive was doing the work! (The military has never eradicated that aspect of my persona, I continue to inflict steam railways on any poor sod within earshot!) BRNC is an iconic place in a lovely part of England. It has kudos rather like Cranwell and Sandhurst and we are lucky to have them. CHOM of course was only built because Sir Samuel Hoare didn't wait for the General Election and got the foundation stone laid prior to the election as a "fait accompli."
