71 Aircraft Wksp AAC Detmold BAOR 41 in 1941
written by robin wright
 The World Cup Final is in a few days and it is still possible that England could meet Germany. This takes me back to that greatest of days in 1966 when I was serving with 71 Ac Wksp in Detmold - a football mad 17 year old!!Is there anybody out there who can remember watching the final with me and about 50 other squaddies in the TV room of the WVS (no Royal then)? A small black and white picture at the end of the room then - not like the massive flat screen high definition monsters of today! Aftewards I can remember playing football on the grass in front of the billet block while others went into Detmold to celebrate - OK and maybe gloat a little bit. I do not remember any trouble though. Great days. I think about them every 4 years. It really does not seem like 40 years ago!! |

There is nothing worse than breaking down. But if you do, the RAC have more than 1,500 patrols ready to rescue you, whether you are at the shops or on the motorway. They will always try to fix your vehicle at the roadside, but if they cant they will make getting it repaired as painless as possible.
