If you do a bit of maths you'll get there, start by doubling those two numbers!

Srennaps,

2 and 31 share the NE HAS Site, 9 and 13 the other. 6 HAS each, for 12 jets each, including any Heavy Rects. No secrets there. One lot of Ops, squippers, int etc, 2 lots of self contained Engineering - it better stay separate too, non of that Chinook/Merlin centralised crap.

It's not ideal and it's not efficient. In effect you have BAES Marham on one side of the field, RAF Marham the other, and one of them is the poor relation.

You can't launch a jet from the front slot mate, local rules. (AESO's).

HTH

The poor relations live much further North!

This got me thinking and I had a quick look at Flash Earth. In the late eighties/early nineties, I knocked up the replacement GR1 sim on the back of my fag packet, after the original was sent out to the sandpit.

It's apparently still there:confused::confused::confused:

Is this a very old picture, or did they put the replacement in the same containers, or is it still there?

Thanks for the info. I got the maths in the end.

I was on 27 many years ago, 6 foot were the other side and 55 on the water front. (Anybody remember Tojo). They were good days. Even better at Bruggen of course with the four corners.

BAES consisted of a single rep and along with a RR rep we spent a lot of time down the pubs (The Bell and Fox &Hounds I think).

From what you have said it sounds like we had the better times.

Regards

Mystery solved!

Incedentally, I was looking at the Marham entry on Wikipedia which states the HAS sites were constructed in 1977- surely this is wrong? I would have said 1980 round about..
