Max Reheat, remember those rooms well. I had one during the evacuation from Cyprus in '74. Noisy as hell with aircraft arriving and departing at all hours.
The good residents of Witney made a complaint about the noise, so a couple of folk were invited up for dinner in the Mess and I was detailed off to host them for the evening. It all turned out well, when the couple arrived and I discovered they were the brother and sister-in-law of a former girlfriend. They listened to the noise we had to put up with in the Mess and went home satisfied that what they could hear in Witney was, in the great scheme of things, very little to complain about.
