Slight thread drift, when I got posted to Coningsby we had our arrivals brief from the Padre. He started off telling us it was one of the biggest RAF stations with almost 1500 personnel (I'd just come down from Kinloss, 2300 at the time) and that the biggest attraction was that it was so close to the A1.
"So close" meant 40 minutes drive, so either Padre was taking the p!ss or he needed to get out more....
