I was so interested to read Roger Collins' email from July 2017 mentioning he lived with his parents in married quarters in Dickson Close at RAF Watton from 1957. I remember him well as we travelled by train during term time by train from Watton to Swaffham where we both attended Hammonds Grammar School where I was in a class below him. Interestingly I read a lot about him over the past few years as he was connected with the property company that bought the entire post war married quarter site on the south of the Norwich Road at RAF Watton. Also nearby in Norfolk he bought the entire RAF Sculthorpe tech site and married quarters - likewise at RAF West Raynham in 2006. I carried out some research on him and discovered he has over a 40 year period acquired 35 former RAF married quarter and airfield sites which included Bomber Command HQ Bawtry Hall, RAF Hemswell and RAF North Coates. Also at only 25 years old was awarded an AOC and formed an airline called Macedonian Aviation based at Southend operating 2 ex RAF Devons and 5 Dakotas. I find this most interesting for a fellow RAF kid like me and if you are interested his company has a website at twsg.co.uk and it lists all the RAF facilities they have bought and a mention of the airline he started. A world apart from our time together at RAF Watton in the late 1950s!
