Activities at the air base...

Postby hoots the scoop » Thu Oct 27, 2005 10:58 pm

Quite surprised there is no mention of the American exercise going on out at the base!

Around 700 or so US Army personel are out by. Great for the area - I know a number of hotels are fully occupied with them.

Pity the didn't use West Coast Motors to carry their soldiers about - seems to be 3 Parks of Hamilton buses they are using! :wink:

I'm guessing the busses were booked through some sort of central reservation service. Does seem to be alot of them around , hopefully this is a sign of things to come with the base gettin a bit more use

apparently WCM were offered the bus service but could not cope with the demand required???

It was the US air force, 352nd special operations group, based at RAF Mildenhall that were deployed here for ther three yearly operational readiness inspection.

Interesting subject, i was in the belief the Airbase was non functional,it was the last time i visited ,apart from the local flights that is.
I really should return again and catch up, it is such a beautiful place, with lovely kind people, and lots of very happy memories.
