Skeleton,
5/6 Harrier Sqns were never going to fit onto the VASS line, and so there was a choice between extending the VASS/TTTE line, or extending the existing line and tarmac up around the hangers. It was easier to extend the pan around the hangers, and also allowed the Sqns to be situated by the a/c, which made life easier for the engineers. Seems a sensible decision to me. VASS was used by Harriers as the Hotpit and forward firing line until the North side was re-surfaced.
In my 9 years at Cott there was TTTE memorabilia in both mess's, and again I reiterate the point that I just don't believe the Stn Cdr would order the CMC to do something in the Sgts Mess that wasn't done in the Officers Mess.
Lets agree to disagree. You hated it, I had an absolutely brilliant 9 years there with some great air and ground-crew.
