RSAF Enfield current day visit ( photos )

[Warren]

Nice to see the old lock again......Herbie Woodend and I were sitting on the banks of the lock with pint in hand (both hands) when they announced the closure of RSAF Enfield Lock. The pub...RIFLES was just a buzzing and Herb said there was a thousand plots taking place in there to see what could probably go home in lunch buckets.
I've been at the closure of two Pattern Rooms: Enfield Lock and Nottingham and both were sad occasions. Both times the collection was in danger of being destroyed. It was always the suspected that the MOD would go in on the weekend and just cut everything up. It is always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. While access at Leeds is not as easy as it was with Herbie and Richard, it is still a world class arms collection and someday..........
I'll dig out some pictures of the original Pattern Room and post them.
