Those chain-link fences can be a darned nuisance. Mind you, they're better than the 10 foot high solid monstrosities all around Gatwick these days.

You should see the 3 foot high barbed wire fence around Cranwell Doug - v high security

Hi Charlie. Nice to know some things haven't changed. I visited RAF Cranwell once. That was back in 19 canteen when I had a swim in the pool. As I recall I got my ATC swimming certificate. We were on annual camp at Swinderby just down the road. LOL

I had my first trip in a Chipmunk on that camp.
I expect Swinderby is closed down now.

PS. Is the pool still there too?

Mine was at RAF Manston, December 95 I think...

I expect Swinderby is closed down now.

Yep - It hasn't been dug up yet though, lots of gravel there apparently. The hangers are now used for antiques fares, the trade ones that cost about

The AN-124s wingspan is a almost a full 29ft larger than that of a 747
