I didn't realise the RAF had VW campers on charge at the moment!!! (Corner of hangar).

Thanks for your time MR. Thank the Boss et al for allowing this to happen.

Great pics and Mags retouched one is very emotive i think :((

I'd make only one tiny addition to your
retouch job, Mags, and that would be
a pail on the hangar floor to catch the
tears of joy she's shedding.....

I like the inclusion at the end of the inventory.

The Record Book states that the strength on the first day, was 4 officers, 1 other rank and 15 civilians. There were 9 vehicles - 1 staff car, 2 tenders, 1 van, 2 tractors, a mobile crane and an ambulance, and 1 Crossley fire engine. To refuel aircraft there was a 450 gallon tanker with 2 petrol trailers, and there were also 2 bicycles.
