2nd Airborne Company Raoc
A Memory of Watchfield.
Hi I was at Arnhem camp in 1958/59. This was where the heavy drop platforms were rigged with Landrover+trailer, before being transported to Abingdon airfield. There they would be loaded into a Beverly aircraft (with the boom doors removed). The RAF would then fly back over Watchfield and drop the platforms on the DZ at Arnhem Camp.
I now live in South Australia, on a trip back to the UK in 2009 it was sad to find not much is left of the camp, but it was good to have a pint in the old pub.
Happy Days.
