When postings were dished out at Shawbury and I was being sent Upavon......grass strip, 1 aircraft, C-in-C's Pembroke, I could have wept!
When I was leaving Upavon after 2 fabulous years in Air Support Command Ops I definitely did shed tears. Apart from a great job the place was awash with WRAF. 3 to 1 IIRC.....Nuffsaid
UPAVON
Considering its historic past and importance to the VERY early days of RFC and RAF its a crying shame the Army are now in charge.
