26 Mar 1980 for me. Nettleton Block 2 Sqn 20 Flt, the rest is a blur.
April 1972, went to Sherwood Forest twice, as I was backflighted due to slight injury. Having seen the first week through ok, I elected to volunteer as a steward for the second trip. Good decision, early mornings but most of the day was free of any hassle from instructors. Very mild conditions, thankfully. GST2 at Hereford in 1984, at the height of Summer.January 1971 for me, memories of a cold R and I camp in Sherwood Forest, never did get to meet Robin Hood either. In best blue delivering roller skates to an orphanage or similar type home and helping the kids have some fun with them on Lindum hill in Lincoln.
I was in one of those 'modern' looking blocks (might have been Gibson?) in 86 and they were alright (not that I had anything to compare and contrast against. Then got bussed to Halton to the block that overlooked/was opposite the Burnett gym, ex-permanent staff block so we all got single rooms with a hot and cold running toilet in the corner but feck it was old and a piece of sh1t to keep clean (in fact a piece of shit would have been easier to keep clean).As suggested, we shall all guess.
Are you front row, seventh from the left?
3 years earlier we were in a more modern block, cannot remember the name but it must have been less of a **** to clean than the brass and wooden floors
Blimey it's a small world Vim also Gibson block (79) and also when at Halton in the block overlooking Burnet gym. Years later Sgt TB was the block SNCO for the same block opposite Burnett and yes it was almost impossible to keep clean and the work services list was always long and largely ignored by the system.I was in one of those 'modern' looking blocks (might have been Gibson?) in 86 and they were alright (not that I had anything to compare and contrast against.

Mar 80 Nettleton Block for me, bottom left room then shifted to bottom right.Christ, but you're all a bunch of deadpool daisy-pushers, makes me feel young!
'89, Nettleton Block. I was in 11 Flight, alongside 4,5 and A Flights. A very naiive, gentle intro into military life, as it should be for a bunch of youngsters who didn't know how to cook, iron or make a their own bed.
And I'm way too embarrassed to point myself out, so don't even ask.View attachment 1011882
