It breaks my heart to see this camp so run down and folorn. Oakington was my first posting after I passed out of Halton in 1961. It was a lovely easy going place with Vampire T11s and about 4 Meteor Mk 7s. The Varsities arrived in 1962 and the Meteors left to be followed eventually by the Vampires. I left for Aden in 1964 but will always remember it as a a very happy place full of friends.
