I know it is an old thread... but I was just telling someone about my trips to Greenham - the first being during the '83 tattoo - and why I had to stay there for a while longer thanks to the army and yank SP failing to stop some silly doris from chucking paint all over the nice kite - so I thought I'd look it up - and found this thread. As far as I am aware we (a detachment of RAF Police doghandlers from various units around the country) were only going to be there over the air tattoo weekend. This stay was extended thanks to the feeble security provided by the hosts and the army personnel. I ended up underneath the SR-71 for a few nights which weren't the most exciting times of my life. I also got struck by lightning whilst on patrol later that month on the main drag whoopee...
It's nice to read the viewpoints of the jockeys...
