(Memories written by members of Forces Reunited)
RAF Calshot (Warsash Ferry) in 1957
Written by Ian Harding
The long winter walks down the Spit road from the Domestic Site to the Technical Site (no short cuts allowed through the Bomb Disposal Area), to be met half way down by WO (Dolly) Gray with a selection of shovels from which he would `invite` us to contribute toward clearing the shingle, blown by the gale force winds, blocking the road. By the time we got to work we were suffering from hypothermia and frostbite. I think that`s when I decided to remuster to the Clerical Branch - as it was warmer in the SHQ.RAF Calshot, in 1948
