When Flying Lawyer and I flew from WW (1969-73), the hangars were used by 'Centri-Spray' or somesuch.

Neither the VC10 nor A310 would have landed at WW!

The location is now 'Maidenhead Office Park'; 'Foundation Park' is another site which is north of the railway line.

Virtually all traces of the old RAF site have now disappeared; you might catch the odd glimpse of them before they were knocked down when used as locations for car chases in The Professionals. When Bodie and Doyle are skulking around the old wooden Officers Mess, I half expected Mr Murphy to appear, to tell them that the bar was shut!

Next time I'm there, I'll go and see whether the hole in the hedge which allowed a quick route to The Beehive or for the QFIs living in the married patch at Walgrove Gardens to visit the Officers' Mess!

Happy Times, eh Tudor? Unfortunately The Plough at West End has now gone though....
