I have just been researching the bomb stores (at RAF Graveley) and learned all about earth traverses, fuzing point buildings and the like. I can imagine it was not the best of jobs in the winter.
I would love to hear more about living conditions .... what was it like inside a "dormitory" nissen hut for example?. Was it just a place for you to sleep or somewhere where you spent free time?
Did you and the other recruits just accept "holding" as par for the course or was it frustrating; did the frustration ever boil over or did the military discipline prevail?
Sorry, so many questions, but I am really glad you are contributing, as your experiences relate to the research that I am doing.
Regards
Pete
