My tours at Kinloss were briefly on 206sqn.(Soggie Goss's crew) followed by Trg Sqn in the Sim then 120sqn. with the VR all as AEOp. Called it a day in 94 as it was interfering with my bidline bids and costing too much. We bought our first house in Wyvis Drive in Nairn and my (then new)better half transferred from Big European Airways at LHR to Scottish (Jock)Airways -Highland Division in Glasgow and commuted home to Inverness most evenings. I also lived at Waterbeach in the fifties as a youngster when it had all sorts of wonderful machinery which probably started my interest in all things with wings - and I learned to fish and row in and on the Cam.
On reflection, lovely countryside, lovely distilleries, some great trips, fun while it lasted and above everything some really good colleagues and lasting friendships.
