Always thought it was strange that CME had the treadmill for testing your dicky ticker up on the 4th floor. The lift could only take a stretcher if it was stood on end. If your dicky ticker proved to be too dicky whilst you were on the treadmill, they transported you across to the Middlesex Hospital opposite, strapped to the stretcher and stood up in the lift.

Cumbrian,
The USAF base down the road was called Burderop, It closed down wee back, Was used as a school for a while, then when the school moved it became a hospital for the disabled so I would say the USAF went from there early to late 60s. I was at school there 1965 till 69 when the school moved, worked there as a volunteer till I joined up in 71. Spent time in most of the RAF hospitals both for socialising and for injuries caused by too much sport, was looked after well each time. Was a brat at Halton and stationed at Lyneham so used both the NAAFI,s as social areas!!!!

RAF Burderop
Fergineer - thanks for this. I recently found references to RAF Burderop in some National Archive files at Kew. It all now makes (some) sense. Thanks.
