I think we were in the accomodation block pictured next to the 'Cook House' our billet was immediatley on the left as you entered. when you first arrived you had a bed ( one of 14) by the door but as time passed you moved up to the other ene and I had a window and a heating radiator during my last six months. Cheers Arthur.

Thanks for reminding me of AWDS, I don't remember Peter Nash but I do remember a Scot Engine or Airframe Mech being adamant about not taking a joy ride until just before his demob when he agreed to go on a test flight in a Venom which refused to lock it's nose wheel and landed in a huge shower of sparks, we watched from the aeromodel club and met Jock later he was not a happy chappy.

First posting out of Brats. 72-75, station armoury and 85 Sqn Canberra's. Surprised that so little has been written about 85 Sqn as it was the biggest Canberra Sqn until split in half and shared with 100 Sqn (Tatty Ton). Pity to see it in such a state, great posting as the country lanes were perfect for young airmen on fast motorbikes. Fakenham had that magic market and great pubs.
