"Squipper, as 40th I was in one of those entries that left before you got there and I heard no such rumours during my time there, May 1960 to November 1961. Nor were we or other entries present, 36, 37, 38 and 39 in the "Borstal Entries"
"
Shack...It was just what we were told. Lots of myths & legends in that part of Wales perhaps?

Mind you - we were also told, when we moved into the huts down by the Runway threashold (After ITS), that an earlier entry had locked a bloke in one of the wooden wardrobes taken it onto a hut roof and chucked it into an EWS nearby as part of their Senior Entry right of passage...Clearly not true, but scared the sh*t out of me

Happy new year from a 4t6th rook :-)
