As printed elsewhere, that's another R.A.F. Station squaddified. Of the ones I served at in the U.K. there's only Benson and Brize left. All the rest are now "Pondicherry Barracks" or somesuch.
Going back for a moment to H****y J*****n who was a good pal. When we were headed back across the Atlantic and twilight was upon us the Flt Eng said "How much of the fight time do you want to call day flying?" and H****y said "When you can't see me any more we will call that the start of night flying" Good bloke
