I used to live along Argosy a couple of years before you. Are they still in use, do you know? They were a bit minging even then but at the same time, at least you weren't in the block.
Argosy Rd is now a huge SNCO slam block and new housing for the officer core, the rest have been done up (like a kipper) and housing, yes you guessed it junior ranks.
Started off in one of the Box Room Devon Place hovels, before moving downstairs to the front room, which wasn't too bad as I had full use of the kitchen/storage area. And then ended up in Argosy which was twice the size. Could have been worse... I managed to avoid the flats near the Families Naafi, and whatever that pub use to be called.. Can remember the Bee Dive and Deviator/Eagle, but never the name of the other one.. Osprey?? Got offered a room at the new Slam blocks near the JRM, but it would have been opposite the dog section.. If living right next the edge of the runway (i do miss the mighty roar....) wasn't bad enough, I wasn't going to give up a room twice the size to hear dogs barking all bloody morning after working a night shift.

Yes, The Osprey. Have some memories of that place, not all of them positive. Is it still there?

No its a pile of wasteland now..........
cleared out for all the 'new' FMQs they promised at Brize... that were quietly forgotten about and never built.

I'm back home to Brize this weekend so I will eat in the OM and the Gateway as I have the choice and will do a consumer food survey to keep fellow goaters informed I will also go to the gym in prep for my fitness test even though I'm downgraded and then go home to clean my house and trim my sidies. I will check that my TV licence is paid and then estimate the cost of having to move all of us should I get my assignment changed to DMS(W)DT_Xtremez_15:
Off TopicPenfold I was with you all the way until this bit "I will also go to the gym" First time for everything I suppose.

If it's PAYD and the pattern at the secret West midlands training base is being repeated then their eating at subway, pizza hut or McDonald's. Supplemented with trips to stock up on low cost micro wave capable junk from ASDA with the occasional tea bar pot noodle for variety.

That and a Jailbait trap. Most lasses that went there on Fri/Sat night were under the age of 18.
IIRC wasn't it bought by the guy from Auf Weidersen Pet, or at least that's the story I remember?
