RAF Halton

There have been other rumours, though, over the years.

I first became aware of the Glenn Miller mystery when I was a child living at RAF Halton.

I remember my mum and dad talking about a search of the Chiltern Hills, not far from where we lived, because it was believed wreckage of a World War II plane could be found there.

Some speculated that it could be the Norsemen that carried Glenn Miller.

Mm-hmm.

And then mechanics training at RAF Halton, and then my first operational posting was RAF Binbrook in Oc- fifth of October 1977.

I remember that day vividly.

[laughs]

I went on to Nimrods at RAF Kinloss, uh, on the Maritime Fleet, which was a fantastic aircraft to work on from, from my point of view as an engineer.

Um, great couple of years up there.

Then back down south to RAF Halton for the School of Technical Training.

Um, then again, a complete change.
