No: 3 RAF Milton
I was interested to read comments on Milton's RAF Depot's,
Because of my age I am perhaps able to give a little more insight into the history
At the age of 16/17 I worked at No: 3 RAF Milton as a wireless electrical Mechanic or (WEM) as was the proper RAF grade .
I was there from 1942 until the end of the war It was a large RAF storage depot built at the end of the Army depot at the Didcot end.
Apart from storage, we WEM's had an unending task of modifying and upgrading new aircraft wireless equipment, even though it had never yet been installed in aircraft.
I had obtained my qualifications by taking a Radio - City and Guilds examinations at Polytechnic institutes in London, then upon applying for enrolment in the RAF told I was under age for service and was directed to serve as a civilian technition attached to the RAF
The RAF depot consisted of about 50 large hangar type buildings for light industry and storage.
Hope this info is of use
