Some of you may already know that I grew-up in Edinburgh and started spotting in August 1964 and was very lucky to be part of the the Catering-Management team at Turnhouse and later the New Terminal(Flight-Catering,Bonded-Store etc.) from 1975-1981.GOOSE wrote:Quite a shock that was Geoff. Took the wife up there, not that long ago, to show her around. Went past on the train just over 2 weeks later and bash, they'd gone.........just lots of piles of rubble and brick, very sad.ArabJazzie wrote: RAF Turnhouse. Runway and aprons now to Edinburgh Airport. Main Hangar and old buildings still there but domestic site across the road is now flattened. .
I found this site a few years ago,it's owned by Colin Lourie and is superb,brings back so many happy memories for me.
It shows lots of RAF Turnhouse visitors in the "old" days.
