The 'Introduce yourself' Thread

Was stationed at RAD Syerston in the year 1947-8 as a RAF Police No 3 District Provost attached to RAF Syerston. Our huts was down Flintham Lane. We had one of the upstairs brick dormontary's but I cannot remember whic one. Have a photo of the jeep that I was in charge of with 2 other mates sitting in just outside our billit. Ken

Wecome aboard can you post the jeep piccy please

TED

Thank you!

AiXAdmin - I understand what you wrote about a change in use, but I thought it was more of a change rathern than redeveloping a decomissioned airfield back into an afield.

For instance: In Malta there was an airfield called Hal-Far serving allied forces in WWII, it is now converted into a drag strip, business and industrial area. That was the sought of planning permission or change in use I think you were talking about.

People often refer to something they object to as NIMBY - not in my back yard. This is much the case with wind farms and eye-sores.

Thank you for bringing these points up!

Will take a look at OASC!

Welcome to the forum Ken, just to echo what Ted said plus any other pics you may have of that period in Syerston's history.
