Things that might have been...............

In the fifties the RAF Chaplain Branch used to run summer camps, (boys only, this was the fifties) for sons of serving RAF personnel. I went to one at Calshot where we stayed in old wartime accommodation.

We would go on lots of visits to broaden our minds; Fawley refinery, Southampton Docks and Portsmouth to see how the Navy worked. Also included was a wander about the two Princess flying boats that were cocooned on the slipway. Two massive grey monsters waiting for some miracle to get going again.

It never came.
