I was sitting next to a guy at dinner a couple of weeks ago who’s got a holiday there planned. He and his wife are going to a couple of other places first (Chile and somewhere I don’t remember) then they’ll be flying back on the South Atlantic Airbridge which handily operates out of Brize.

This popped up in the associated stories bit, never realized Imber used to be an actual village. Thought it had been built by the MoD for training.
Did FIBUA training there before going to Bosnia in 94’
