I have always been interested in military aviation and as a schoolboy I wanted to be a pilot, unfortunately my education was not up to the required standard so I had to make do with looking through the school classroom windows at the passing Meteor 4s 8s and 14s, this was in the 1950s.What great days they were.

After leaving school in December 1955 I had a few jobs and although they were of interest, my thoughts were still on the aircraft in the sky.Aircraft were at that time plentiful,Javelins, Hunters, Canberra, Meteors to name but a few of the aircraft, these ofcourse kept the interest going for me as did the excellent RAF open days at the airfields of that time.

These pages are my memories of RAF Wattisham and my time working there.

Please feel free to browse the pages and leave any comments on my Guestbook
