Barry the wind was wicked in the winter. The medical centre was some way from the WRAF block, it could be a very wet walk. |

Pat, I went to Benson two years ago for the annual squadron reunion. It was my first visit. A cold day it was indeed ... and Benson seems very open and inhospitable, I thought. |

Ann, I did almost 2 weeks at RAF Innsworth helping out a rather overworked dentist whose nurse was on embarkation leave. She was having to cope with patients, try to do a stock check and type out everything in the surgery - in duplicate, as the way things were done was changing. I was sent in as I'd just done it where I was based at RAF Benson. I travelled there on the Monday and worked the next 10 days straight through to get everything done and left on the next Friday morning. It was February 1969. |
