I used to go there every month for the 1 Gp AT tasking meeting. Having checked the history, it must have been August 1993 when I turned up as usual to find a 'brown job' sitting in an office by the conference room. He was decidedly unhelpful. I phoned a colleague to discover that 1 Gp had moved to High Wycombe, or somewhere, and the meeting was there. No one told me personally about this. It may have been in a circular; the sort of thing that one files in the round filing cabinet under the desk. They managed without me so I sent my deputy after that - not the same driving along the M40 instead of through the country lanes of the Cotswolds. Had very nice fish and chips in Lechlade on the way back though.
