Don’t miss the bus, then dc10fan – and take your own booze unless you want to have a second mortgage! Also be prepared for the one hour wait if you have checked baggage – they load the return bags first so the aircraft can leave swiftly, before bothering with the arrived passengers – for me that wait in a tiny crowded room is the worst part of the trip!

Gothenburg Säve – and it’s only 15 miles from town! Mind you, if you miss the one and only bus and can’t afford the 30 quid taxi fare, it’s a very very long wait for the next bus (which could even be the next day! And there are no hotels closer than town!)

I bought and have read an excellent biography, I think it was entitled just “Trenchard” but cannot lay hands on it now as my ex-wife has refused to let me collect any of my personal possessions from our former home (in which she now resides alone) for the last 3 years! Therefore I am afraid I cannot give you the publisher’s details, etc.
What shocks me is that I and other airmen were “invited” to participate under totally false pretences, in what was supposedly a cure for the common cold. Porton was mentioned on the notices. If I remember correctly they said volunteers would spend “a week or two” at Porton and it would merit extra payment of something like half a crown (12.5p) a day.

Best regards to Ania!
I well remember these invitations “to take part in experiments to seek a cure for the common cold” being posted on Squadron notice boards in the early 1960s. Thank goodness I was not tempted to participate. At the time we servicemen had no reason to believe that they were anything but genuine!
