RAF Milton

I just came across this thread. I know it is old, but in case anyone is interested.

I lived on RAF Milton from around 1950 or 1951 to around 1956. In a bungalow on the left hand side as you entered the base from Sutton Courtenay.
My father (Frank Pritchard) was in the Air Ministry Works Department - a civilian outfit responsible for RAF base maintenance.
It was a brilliant place to live as it was primarily as storage depot. Plenty of interesting things for a 10 year old to explore. Running along lengths of PSP, sitting in rear gun turrets, etc.

I went to Sutton Courtenay primary school and then Abingdon School.
We left the base when my father moved to RAF Upper Heyford.
