Danny and Chug,
I had the pleasure of being SNCO I/C Visiting Aircraft Servicing Section for 3 years at Machrihanish. The station had many things going for it. A beautifully sandy beach where your kids could play all day, some great whiskey distilliaries in Campbeltown and on nearby Islay and then the Golf. Machrihanish Golf Club is a full championship course, no longer used by the pro's due to its location. We were allowed full membership for only a few pounds a year. I arrived there never having hit a golf ball, and, left playing if a 4 handicap. Those were the days, but a great place.
