Talk:RAF Compton Bassett/@comment-86.139.190.90-20191201130456

RAF Compton Bassett was, in 1959, my "home" for the duration of my time, training to be a Teleprinter Operator.

As well as John Bloom having served there, others founded their future civilian live at the station.

Most will remember 'C.F.N.', the Compton Forces Network. It proved the Genisis of certain careers. Adrian "Irish" Malone headed the station radio. Later, he was to direct Professor Jacob Brownowski in the BBC series, "The Assent of Man".

Another National Serviceman went on to be a BBC disc jockey. David "Diddy" Hamilton.

Perhaps others remember more.
