RAF Swinderby May 1987 in 1987
written by Rachel Collins
 my first memory at RAF Swinderby was the early mornings,especially after a night of hectic bulling of shoes and shirt ironing etc perfectly-no sleep,scared stiff of what was going to happen next!those mile and half runs,cross country followed by the dreaded 'jabs',great fun!Stripping paint off floors at the weekend,food in the mess(nice!),shopping in town centre and if you was lucky(I was 18)getting half a lager in the NAFFI that eve-then getting a sneaky snog from your 'boy or girlfriend' on the way back(without the staff catching you!),I can see it all now!The hardest bit,was 3 days Military Field Training(MFI) and no it has nothing to do with wood and nails!!!!those 2-4am fire duties-that was hard,oh and the food-so hungrey,but only minutes to eat it.Of course the best bit,was the passing-out(lucky if you didnt actually pass-out as it was very warm!),my mum and dad have the video,which id love to watch again,but can just remember the feeling of being so proud and happy to be with the good friends i made in those memorable 6 weeks of my life. |

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.
