Clearing the runway

Hello - I tripped across this forum by chance and was interested to read from your blog that you were at Chivenor in the 60's during the hard winter. Do you recall talk of or were you there when they cleared the runway by making a big snowball - as you say I believe the snow remained until May.

My dad was one of the guys who was pictured in an official RAF Chivenor retrospective 'bio' book. Unfortunately he died young, before I can remeber him and I am trying to trace any pics (I only have one) or maybe anyone who knew or remembers him I know its a while ago

I have tried unsuccessfully to search the internet for more info, maybe you could suggest other places to look?

Thank you and good to hear that so many have good memories of the place. I was born in nearby Muddiford during my dad's posting his name was Anthony Douglas Wall (Tony) - he was a tech

Kind regards Heather (Wall)
