Sutton-on-Hull. Resurrected from a WWII Barrage Balloon Depot to become the training school for RAF Firemen, where, through the 60s and 70s, many redundant airframes were reduced to charred canvas and blobs of alloy.

Every summer, Dad would load us all into the Moggy Traveller and we'd head down to Kent, where our cousins would buy all the charred canvas and blobs of alloy from us to flog to their schoolchums as BoB memorabilia.
