Raf Nether Wallop 1944 1946
A Memory of Nether Wallop.
I have connections in the Wallops as I was born at Craydown, Over Wallop in Aug 1945. My parents were married in nearby Broughton Baptist Chapel with my father an R.A.F. Corporal and my mother a LACW in the W.A.A.F. Both served in the Equipment Section. I have always thought that they were at R.A.F Middle Wallop as this was always mentioned to me as a child. I have recently re-read my parents Service Books and their discharge details are stamped R.A.F Nether Wallop. I have found out the Winton House (previously Wallop House) was used by the RAF in Nether Wallop but this was for Sector Control staffed mainly by W.A.A.F.'s. This wouldn't have been an Equipment Section so my question is where was this area under R.A.F. Nether Wallop. I know that in 1944 the U.S.A.F came to Middle Wallop and later so did the Navy as HMS Flycatcher which was a training site preparing forces for civilian life again. Should anybody have any information on this I would be most grateful.
