My Old man was at Scampton, then Waddington.
His mate Died when a Lincoln (later model Lancaster) crashed in fog near Scampton.

Always enjoyed working on RAF bases, they always seemed a decent lot.

Re: Lincs and Lancs
Dad also RAF.
He was at Sealand by Chester, then we were in Scotland for a bit at Leuchars.
Mum hated Leuchars, much windy and very cold.

The oldest one I Think, is RAF Digby. Remember hiring a van to take by brother-in-law up there for his first posting.
