R.A.F. Finningley in The 1950's
I remember my parents and my sisters and I moving to live in a hut about 1955. My father had been commissioned as an Officer and after about 1 year, we moved to "the big house" which was a large property at the Officers' Quarters We then moved again on the camp to a brand new house just built and known as 32 OMQ. At the end of the garden we had a big oak tree and I remember going to the guardhouse at the ripe age of 6 to report that boys were climbing in the tree and they were to be stopped. I remember my teacher at RAF Finningley Infant School. Her name was Mrs Walls and she smelt of face powder. Our headmistress was Mrs Kitchen, a big imposing lady. We had great fun as little children on the camp and would love to hear from others who were there. My first boyfriend was called Christopher Sands and he was very shy. He lived in the village up the road. Hm, wonder where he is now!!
