RAF Greenham Common

[lynothehammer]

Been meaning to drop by Greenham Common and accidentally didn't realise we were at a kids play area right next to the common. 

It would have been rude not to stop by and have a look, not the best photos and i wasn't there long but will try and get back and have a good look about.

When I was on the wagons, we delivered many loads of plasterboard and fireboard there, the security was total, the transport manager had to provide the names of the visiting wagon drivers at least a week in advance and then we had to show two forms of ID at the gate, were patted down, truck was checked over and that was after you'd braved the taunts and insults from the rag bag bunch of "wimmin" who were camped outside . I remember driving down a taxiway parallel to the main runway past some of the bunkers where the nukes were situated. I do remember also some great airshows there in the 70s.
