Might be slightly out on the speed not by much but it was 20 odd years ago. I can honestly say you would not want your free tank! Having seen the effects on TELIC 1, trust me!

I mean, since they moved to Colchester, we have been blessed with such joys as unemployment and crime aswell as becoming a 3rd World toilet.

Eckyowl 25 Posted March 1, 2018 Now then treve see you in Cyprus mate!!! Been in the RAF for 22 and counting. God knows why but I can't bring myself to leave. Sat here in the cold due to heating being ripped out. Got to love this government. But despite that everywhere I go I take my Wednesday shirt. 4 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many nights out in Aldershot; Woking and Guilford. Inc Cheeks; spent a night in the photo booth at woking station; until the 1st train. Cheeks-Thursday nights were mega. Newie challenge was to nick a handbag off a partner of a Para Reg bloke, take a dump in it toilets in it and get it slipped back without them catching you. I ended up getting one of the Keogh female nurses on ROP’s cos she was late on parade cos she was prisoner in my bunk in Aldershot.

Spent half my youth in there, probably still got a bit of the sticky carpet stuck on my old going out shoes. Sadly, its gone, like everything else that was ever good about Aldershot.
