....gas fire! We plebs had a coal-filled pot-bellied stove!
Used to visit as an ATC cadet in the days of hairy uniforms and greatcoats...

The stove at one end of the hut always stayed cold, while the other glowed cherry-red, so it was always tricky choosing the right bed

Other highlights were being winched up into a 22sqn Whirlwind over the airfield, and sitting in the state-of-the-art Hunter cockpit simulator, which remained firmly bolted to the ground
