Danny,
Goose bumps time, the story of your wife's meander, unseen possibly crossing runways. Of course, it would have been really weird had Bosnich related a tale of a rumour that the area was haunted by a woman pushing a pram in his input to the thread. That would have made you chuckle I suspect. Your post also highlights something of a service that no longer seems to exist, from friends still serving I'm told that even with proper ID they sometimes struggle to get on Base, let alone the airfield. How things change.
