RAF Westcott
Good rocket work still being done there:
"When the US space agency's latest probe to Jupiter tries to enter into orbit around the planet on Tuesday, it will be relying on a British rocket engine."

Hi,
you say that RAF Westcott closed in 1946 but my dad says he was there in the early 50's as an RAF Cpl in the tower. He did National Service then and told me that there used to be some of the german V bombers there for testing because he still has the magnification lens from one of them. He also said that the staff there nicked most of the war exhibits and lots of stuff seemed to strangely disappear.
Is there any assocation of westcott veterans ??

In the last month there was a Chinook out of Westcott late evening, headed back to Odiham
