RAF Lyneham, in 1983
written by Mark Walmsley
 It's 1983 and this 17 year old lad (me) arrives at one of the most awe inspiring bases in the UK. During the next 5 years I am detached to a whole host of different bases (Greenham, Falklands etc.) before being posted away from Lyneham. No other base quite had the same feel about it, nor had the same amount of friendship that was to be found at Lyneham. It saddens me to think of the base closing in the near future.I would like to pass on my congratulations to all the people of Wootton Bassett for the respect and dignity they have shown to our returning personnel from current conflict areas. It is the saddest duty that RAF Lyneham undertakes and I remember vividly the return of the Bandsmen that were killed in the bomb attack in Germany. Thanks to RAF Lyneham, all the friends I made there and the memories that will last forever. |

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.
