Pan back to 1970. Britannia move from Lyneham to Brize. They dangled a carrot - if you are prepared to move early you can choose your own OMQ. Found one with a nice garden and volunteered to move before the end of the school term. Sorry, they said, we are using a points system and we will allocate your OMQ. Bugger off I said and bought my first house in Shipton under Wychwood for £5950!
Best thing I ever did.
