RAF Ballykelly, in 1957
written by Philip Kavanagh
 A long way from Sussex in those days. Very lucky to get a flight to England, as I wasn’t on a Squadron. Took nearly 24 hours to get home to Bexhill. Always seemed to be raining. I worked in the Parachute section, which was a nice cushy job. Guard duty was always a pain every 3 weeks, but the RAF Regiment chaps were a splendid bunch, and always very smartly dressed. They hated Mr. Coley, the station W.O. who was always looking for trouble. I visited Ballykelly in 2003, and will be back again for the last time at the end of August 2010 on my motorcycle.2 years National Service was long enough for me. |

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.
