What surprised me most recently was someone telling me the gliding caravan the VGS at Abingdon use is the same one I used to sleep in at Little Rissington early 90s!
Same type, not the same one. 612 VGs at Abingdon still have the same carvan they were issued from new back in the Venture days at RAF Benson. It was though refurbished last year (but without the air con that other VGS got.
)
