Ian Burgess-Barber - Your mentioned Chedworth in your list of fathers units. That may refer to RAF Chedworth in Gloucestershire which was just down the road from me. I can't say if he was there for a medical admission as it only had a very small sick bay and most people went to the hospital at RAF Innsworth or Little Rissington.
However Chedworth was primarily the satellite field for RAF Aston Down which was a spitfire OTU for a while. I would need to check the dates in details but there were two OTUs plust a Tactical Exercise Unit based there. I'll dig into it and get back to you.
Ormeside28 - Fascinating to read of your adventures as an RAF glider pilot on Varsity. I'm currently in the process of building a replica Horsa cockpit at the Jet Age Museum in Gloucester. We have two ex RAF Glider pilots who both flew on Varsity who volunteer and talk to the public about there experiences on ops.
