There were three, units in Blackdown in 1963. The RASC, I connot remember the name of their barracks, #1 Battalion of the RAOC in Alma Barracks and right next door was the Junior Leaders Battalion RAOC in Dettingen Barracks. the RASC was renamed during 1963-1966 to the RCT. The Junior Leaders have since been disbanded.
