I had the 'honour' of being stationed at R.A.F. White Waltham in 1962 while 'holding' for #2 A.N.S!
Offices Mess was a thatched single-storey country residence with the usual 'massed-produced' outer buildings for the 'officers'!
I was attached to 25 Group, C-in-C. Publications and the Mess Manager was Tommy Doran, a fellow Liverpudlian! When his staff were serving the old 'vino roto', life became very dangerous!
Seem to remember the ol' Rotodyne operating from Fairey's ramp on the other side of the airfield!
Happy Days!
