Yes; he is tied up with Range research so is slacking on airfields! Eight hundred plus would be nearer the mark and, if you add together the number of servicemen and civilians manning them the figures are staggering.
Hi everyone. My name is Laurie. I was a member of the RAF for some 24 years and, after leaving the service, joined BAe in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, where I worked for another 11 years. I retired in 1999 and now live on the island of Penang, just off the NW coast of Malaysia.
My interests are aviation, mostly historic, and photography.
Welcome to the forum Laurie. I think you are the first member to be based in Malaysia. Look forward to anything you can add from your experiences in the RAF.

Hi indeed, Penang ah, spent a nearly a week there two years ago - loved it! Friendly people, great food, architecture, shopping and excellent culture. Malaysia is great, shame about KL though!
You can tell a builder from an archaeologist by the size of his trowel. Mine is a small one!
