ARE YOU AN OLD FULTONION?

Following on from my thread of yesterday:FULTON BLOCK THE WORLDS OLDEST/LARGEST/CRAPIEST BARRACK BLOCK.

Have you ever had the pleasure(sic) of living in Fulton block?.

Did you spend 3 years as an APPO or 18 months as a AR/FS/COM`s DE or FITTER or 6 months as a MECH or mabye 15 minutes doing a BOMBHEADS course?.

What were your dates and course No`s?.?

What were your memories?.

Are you still wandering the corridors lost?.

Or perhaps still standing in the mile long queue outside the mess at tea time?.


Im sitting on my sandbag waiting!.

1980-81 L MECH AR 32(with camera Q)
1984-85 TAR FT 65


As a fitter i was able to bag a side corridor room (passed on by another fitter)with only one key so NCO/IC didnt know i was there,so no room inspections for 18 months

Favorite trick was to move heavy sleepers(bed an all)to another wing in the middle of the night.

Ex-51st and seem to remember getting to run over those bomb shelter affairs behind Fulton Block. I believe it was because someone had the temerity to sneeze while on parade outside, waiting to be marched in for a meal.

Ballroom??!!! You mean the Sticky Bun where sossie rolls, cups of tea and aforementioned sticky buns were dispensed. Next door was the NAAFI shop and before that was the Apprentice's Bar. Other side of the corridor was the Snooker Room and two TV rooms.

1985-86 after doing basics at Locking Holiday Camp we arrived at Cosford and took up residence in the Armourer's Wing. What a come down that was!

Memories

Queuing for ages for the phones.
Racing up the stairs from the mess and over the other side to the other mess to see if the queue was shorter.
Long walk to the train station.

Went back in 1994 for AFT/HNC course and even had a lesson in what used to be our 18 man room!

It's a fine building and should be listed.

June to Dec 1976 Tel52. Its a long story but I spent my first two weeks in the Kitchens doing general duties.

memories of that were, painting chairs RAF Blue in a closed room without ventilation! Then standing outside watching the arrival of the Godyear airship which was captined by a AVM who still had a Airship Captains license, with the WO, who was ojust old enough to remember Londong being bombed in WW!

Later on, gatecrashing the 'exorcism' of the room next door. There was supposed to be a gpolterkeist in the room and the CofE padre came room.

TThen the riot that took place becase someone accused Appo 123 of destroying a Fitters room the night before Appo 123 pased out! Our F/lt Sgt Disp was Duty NCO and he grabbed both Ian richardson and myself to join him in trying to stop the riot!

There are other stories but they are for my memoirs!
