My Dad did a part of his National Service at RAF Honiley in about 50/51. Flying Vampires out of there.

And, if memory serves, my younger sister would go for a riding lesson & help out in some stables at Fen End every Saturday. It was nice there then. Looks like HS2 is passing fairly close by to the North if aerial pics are anything to go by.
