Conrad’s Jet Provost

Accommodation was provided for the band on the base, described as a major flying training centre – well it was until 2020 when all training was transferred to RAF Valley.

Hanging on the walls of the officer’s mess were a number of rather nice pictures, illustrating some of the station’s history.

The station is now closed, last I heard it was being put up for sale.

That is all.
