1982-1992 eh? amazing!

Out of interest did the HSF intend to use the same defensive ideas of WW2 should main land Britian be invaded?


Shaun

Hmm, you wouldn't think so, except I think a 'conventional' invasion was still considered a possibility. It's about this time that lots of WW2 runways were dug up to stop enemy landings on them.

Yeah i have noticed that with the areas that i have worked in, in the last 3 years. still they must have been something in it, as if you look at the "302 (HSF)Sqn-The Royal Corps of Transport Gloucestershire." This was based at South Cerney, now home to JAMC. (Many a time i have spent here awaiting a flight somewhere!) Its mission was to keep the corridors of communication opne, amoungst other things, and reminds me of the WW2 defensive lines drawn up pre "Operation Sea Lion".

Hi Union Jack,

Was meant to post this a while ago for you! I am more than likely certain you have come across this.
