84th Bill, 1956 -1959.
The Beaufighter classroom was located on the track where you “trogged” in at the back of the airfield, the first thing you saw on the right hand side. The Canberra and Comet shot must have been taken in 1959 during the final airfield phase. John Cunningham flew the Comet in.

The boost gauge dial was given to me by Tim Moore of Skysport who purchased the remains of the classroom which I believe are now in Australia.

Hi Beaufighter,
Aaarrrrhhhhhhh !! 84th ayyyeeee. ( I well remember the 84th ‘s Entry “national sock week” at Halton during our time there 😀 never did get my own uniform shirts and socks back following morning, had to grab some other persons smelly ones so I could get onto “The March” to work–lol !!! )

The Vulcan and Comet colour pic. was from a slide taken by a chap who lives about 50 yds from me these days. Back then, he was a National Service Fireman stationed at RAF Halton. Thanks for info on the Classroom, so at least some of it was saved. Nice you got a classroom piece too. Nice to see other folks enjoying this thread too.
