Cardington photo

Hi all, I reported to Cardington on 18 Oct 1960, for initial training, although the hangars were there, thankfully we were billeted in wooden huts. Those were the days.

Linzee,

Thansk for that. I’m pretty certain I approached them last year with this and they were unable to help. I’m also pretty sure the photo was available online, but I can’t find it now.

Ian, maybe the Airship Heritage Trust boys could help you?http://www.aht.ndirect.co.uk/index.html

The guy who runs their website is very helpful.

OK, maybe not completely full … :rolleyes:

Very nice photo, Box Brownie. If I may hijack this thread, can I ask if anyone has seen a photo of the airship sheds at Cardington full of bunks when the station was used as a Recruit Centre during WW2? I’ve seen such a photo somewhere a long time ago but can’t remember where. Any help would be much appreciated.

Jeez, you’d have needed a hell of a long ladder to get to the top one!
