It's now an airport. Ryan Air fly into it from Stansted and Prestwick. It seems to handle the budget airlines and cargo. Here's the link -

Cat of Shadows said:Strangely I have always retained a perverse fondness for Swinderby. I lived at Scampton for a short while a couple of years ago and would pass Swinditz regularly when trying to get back to anywhere with real habitation. Always did get a bit nostalgic..........................the Thor Run, mile and a half BFTs in the middle of a Lincolnshire winter.................joy!!

Cat of Shadows said:Anyone seen the state of RAF Wroughton recently? I will never forgive the services for doing away with the finest military hospital in the British armed forces.
The whole place is a right state.
Strangely I find myself interested in your photies, I spent some time at Raynham in the mid 80's.............NEQcounter said:I had a mooch around RAF West Raynham a couple of years back, it looked strange all overgrown but intact. I even had a look at the house in MQ's that I lived in before I joined up. There are all those empty houses with people struggling to get quarters at Marham. - DOH!
I have a load of photos if anyones interested?
ONI ORRISON WAS NAILS!!! 6 FLT BLACK MAGIC
Popped my head in at Javelin Bks (RAF Bruggen) not long back. Did not see too many obvious changes on the main site, although a few of the squaddies said they hate it there and are banned from most of the local drinking holes (how true I dont know). The pan is a parade square and the terminal a gym I was told and the squadron sites across the runway are no more (as is the runway).
Left heavy hearted, but with fond memories.
