    Great episode... Does Trevor have a bit of an Aussie/NZ accent?? I was trying to pick it through the whole podcast. Got me looking at Google maps for Gatow to compare with the Wall location. Glad that the whole airfield hasn't been repurposed.

      Yes, he's now been living in Australia for quite some time. Well spotted!

    Wall? It was a fence actually! You could probably see it from your office.

      You are quite correct, the wall opposite Gatow was a fence with the very tall white goon tower behind it, however, I used the generic term wall for the podcast as it is a familiar term for most people.

    I was with 7flt AAC and really enjoyed living/working with the RAF I remember doing an exercise running around on camp pretending to be the enemy we only took part after a conversation with the Raf Regt lads so we lent a hand once we convinced our own CSM it was 91 or 92
