I accidentally came across your website whilst researching RAF Watton and I must compliment the proprietors on such an excellent and comprehensive presentation on this renowned RAF facility. Scrolling down the Guests letters I was delighted to read an entry from one of my former chums Roger Collins when we both lived in the NCO MQs in Dixon Road from 1958 for a couple of years. My father, like Roger's father Arthur whom if I remember correctly was a Master Navigator were both flying the B29 Washingtons at RAF Watton. I was amazed to read of his involvement in former MQs and airfields including Watton, RAF Sculthorpe and RAF West Raynham. I remember even when we were only 12 he loved cycling with me to nearby wartime airfields at Deopham Green, Shipdham, Bodney and East Wretham. A few of us RAF kids often sneaked into the Stanford Training area and were intrigued with all the empty houses, churches and we never got caught - happy days. I looked at Roger's company website at www.twsg.co.uk and was amazed to read he had bought 36 ex MOD estates and he started his own airline when he was only 25. After spending two years of my life with him on the camp and at Hammonds Grammar school in Swaffham. I was totally amazed. To me it is a great shame to see what has happened to Watton airfield with the development of the housing on the airfield as I was interested to note Roger has been revitalising airfields.
