I have wonderful fond memories of the Base & the Village. My wife & I returned there in the 80’s, they would not let me on Base as it was a Missile Base at that time, very disappointing, but understandable. The village we lived in was typical English, one small grocery store but 5 “PUB’S-filled with the locals at night. A Special Time in my Life with Great Typical English Farmers & Towns People. Very Special.
