Raf Base

A Memory of Coldingham.

I was born at the RAF base 2 Drone Hill where my father was based. I am now 54 years old and in July 2004 after losing my mother I came up to Coldingham to revisit the base, which to my surprise in now a caravan site, and the house that I was born in is still there. As you can imaging it was quite an emotional visit. The old Naffi is now the site clubhouse and there was a write-up of it being an RAF radar base, it closed in 1957 and I would be most grateful to anyone who can supply any old photos of how it used to be.

We stayed in Scoutscroft caravan park. All the areas we visited including Berwick, Eyemouth, St Abbs and a lot more were so beautiful and we hope to revisit in 2009. We found the people of Coldingham warm, friendly and helpful, even the local pubs were a joy to visit. A memory to treasure.
