BOMBING RANGE, SALTFLEET (Hansard, 19 November 1953)


Mandator (#9).

This incident took place two years before I arrived at Strubby on my first ATC tour in 1955. We lived in Mablethorpe: it was a subject of much amused remark at the time - although it could've easily had a tragic outcome. I believe that the toilet seat involved was kept on display behind the lounge bar in the "Prussian Queen", although another version had it donated to the Squadron responsible.

But "Hansard" is so scrupulously polite and pedantic, with an underlying streak of humour, that it's a joy to read. Thank you for putting it in !
