OD-
To be precise they only pulled down one wing (East Wing). The West wing fell down (internally) in the middle of the night, when the new colonel of the regt taking over from the RAF had most of the internal walls removed to make 'big suites' for his living in officers. As he didn't like the 'new' assymetric OM he had the other wing pulled down to match it, thus ruining one of the nicest messes I had the pleasure of living in - although the noise of the collapse was quite frightening.
In those days the colonel seemed to rule supreme and could order anything to be done to any building, no matter what advice was given to the contrary, and god help the MPBW/DoE manager who crossed him.
