In 1970 I was posted from 604 FAC to 3 Maritime HQ Unit RAuxAF. My boss at the time, FltLt Peter Maillard, did not believe the posting as he thought that the RAuxAF had been disbanded years ago! However, it turned out that there were 3 MHUs - No 1 MHU London (Valency House, Northwood), No 2 MHU Edinburgh (Pitreavie) and No 3 MHU Mountbatten. Had an interesting time 1970-73 instructing RAuxAF teleprinter operators (TPOs), wireless operators (WOps) and telegraphists (Telegs). The unit also had some ops clerks & ground wireless mechanics/fitters. All trades worked at Mount Wise in the commcen and ops room. Training was carried out on 3 Sundays a month plus 1 or 2 evenings each week. There was also the annual continuous training of two weeks.
