RAF Waterbeach, in 1953
written by Pete "Smudge" Smith
 1953 wasn’t too bad really. First the floods on the East Coast and we were sent to Felixstowe filling sandbags. A thoroughly soaking experience. Then April was ’volunteered’ for Coronation duties, did some training at Waterbeach but then sent to RAF Odiham for final training. After we were sent to Kensington Gardens, quite near the Round Pond, frequented by "Ladies of the Night"
Put under canvas whilst there until route lining duties on the day. Just outside Selfridge’s, quite another wet experience but a memorable one. |

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.
