Yes, Norman, I certainly remember Bill. I was there in 1961, and I had a
boozy stay at the King's Head, Gt Ormesby. I enjoyed every minuite of the
course.

It does indeed look very sad. It would have been better if they had
completely demolished it. I spent part of November and most of December
1963 there at the Radio-Sonde Training School - great fun! Bill Preston
was in charge of the school - anyone remember him?

Bill Preston was still there in Summer 1967 when I did an initial
sonde course. I seem to recall there were a couple of others there,
XO's I think, and one of these was in overall charge of the station.
He drove a black 3 litre Rover, and I think his name was Hunt.
