I was stationed there from 67 to 69 in ATC and Ops - 3 sqns and TTF (all Victor BK1) and 252 site behind the tower though the missiles had gone. I recall some real snow and a snow blower going nearly all night but equally some fabulous summer weather. Brilliant beaches, pubs in the village (my 21st was in the one shown as a load of rubble) and a very free and easy relaxed life as a single man.
Apparently there were some shenanagans in quarters - so said the News of the World but on the single side , there were famous bands most weeks and loads of good looking girls from all over the place, including some from Brampton on a night out.
Oh yes - I nearly forgot - I was in the tower when a certain young man from W. Raynham in his hunter buzzed the place at very low level en route back from Tower Bridge. The lights were at green on the Burmah Road and the F/Sgt local controller was just coming back from lunch.
Quite a few incidents at the time, the worst being the Victor and Canberra in 1968.
I digress, I know diddly squat about the question.
