This Is fascinating. So my story is that i used to work for a company in the late 80s early 90s that used to have the contract to lay all the flooring in the barracks, hangers (then most converted into offices and also all the airmen quarters and officer quarters. we used to frequent the naffi and even remember playing table tennis at lunch times. i remember eating frickadelen (probably spelt incorrect) forgive me. they used to sell them in Buns a bit like burgers. my fondest memory was when i was working in one of the hangers fitting out an office when the air show was on and seeing the Vulcan bomber fly overhead. Wow What memories you have brought back. Thank you for Sharing! i also remember tiling out Kitchen floors in anson Road and fitting carpets.

Omg. Soo many memories came flooding back. We lived 82 anson Road when my dad was stationed there between 1973/ 78

Many thanks for the video was there 1980/81 lots of memories so sad to see what has happened to it since

I was at Locking on MAD26, May to December 88, then my assimilation course, then Fitters course and a few Q courses. My brother trained there... My dad trained there..! What a crying shame to see it like this now. All those memories though, fantastic station to be sent to at 18yrs old. Just brilliant.

Nice. I live and work in Locking. Moved here in 2020, been working at Lockng Primary School since 2016. Would be cool to see how it looks now from the air.

Thank you so much for this lovely video. So shocked & saddened that the base is demolished. My father was stationed at RAF Locking 1972-1974. I attended Locking Primary School & used to walk back home - unfortunately I don't remember our exact address but it was the far northeastern corner of the accommodation area on Russell Rd. It was so lovely - I could only see cows happily grazing from the back of the house..... I wish my parents had taken pictures of our life there. Living in the United States now & full of nostalgia ...

Well that's a shock, from a busy camp to a wasteland.........all those memories!

Great video. 1st posting was my D.E. course from '87-88. Got married and lived in Anson Road. Ended my time in uniform from 94 - 96 back at Locking, living in Oxford Square. My son went to Locking Primary for a year.

Somewhere online there's images of the bulldozers destroying the place. Almost bought tears to my eyes seeing it.

Great memories of that camp and I met my wife there so we both enjoyed the drone shots. T4S

One of the blocks was Aaron block

Spent my honeymoon in Weston in 1969 then moved into 33 Oxford square been married 50 years this March but have fond memories of our stay at locking

There were 8 airman blocks for trainees. Ward was one, Mannock was another.

I was just a little kid when it closed i lived there from about 1996-1999 when it closed and lived was at number 56 anson road such a shame its gone now. that was my school just over the foot bridge

Sad to see but I was aware of it, my sister and her husband live in one of the ex married quarters now

I was in Craft Aprentice Entry 213 and when I viewed the video there had been 213 views. Coincidence or what!
