Brawdy up for grabs?

I well remember the Brawdy ‘Lean’ – almost permanent list against the prevailing wind 😀

M.P.B.W…might have been works and bricks – but at Brawdy also meant ”Macs Pub By the Waves” 😀 I remember walking out of there one night f f f fairly well oiled and deciding it was a good idea to go into the sea fully clothed (as you do ;)),it was a rough night and the undertow immediately sobered us up LOL

Driving the winch for the gliding club which was set up just before I was posted out…sometimes the wind shear was wicked off the cliffs and you might need full power to get em off the ground…but over 100ft they were still waving off speed with the drum stopped ;),couldn,t possibly do a bit of kiting – it was verboten 😀

Parking a nice clean Hawk out on the line and 30 mins later the screen and canopy covered in salt spray :rolleyes:.

Lovely part of the world…must go back for a visit sometime !!

Or Binbrook where they had 60 knot sunshine, proving the theory you could bend light 😀

Not a lot of use for civil aviation! Comment from a meteorological colleague of mine who was posted there – “Only place where I’ve seen 40 kt fog”!! Although some in the far north may be able to improve on that – they usually do!!!

Should have come to Valley, we had 50Kt fog! 😀

My earliest recollection of Brawdy, was back in the 60’s. On one of the many
camping holidays in S.Wales with my parents.

Sitting outside of our tent watching Gannets flying circuits.

Would make sence keeping the Typhoons at RAF Leuchars and have the ARMY move in here!! Our goverment are just a class act aren’t they…

Nooooo…. the buried stuff is down the road at St. Davids. Oops, that’s let the cat out of the bag :diablo:

Saddened to hear the news yesterday – my first posting and a place full of wonderful memories too.:mad:

Put in a bid, then dig it all up and make a fortune from all the buried Spitfires.

Just make sure you get the media contracts in first.
