I went on a very good holiday to the vale of Glamorgan, an area I have never been to before, which had some interesting bells and churches and very varied scenery. Back to Easter Saturday and the sponsored walk and cycle ride. It was a beautiful warm sunny day with about 40 people walking and cycling. The cyclists went round Rutland Water with or without the peninsular and the walkers walked round the peninsular. The best part of the walk was the bluebell woods and at one place a whole field full of them. After we had finished the walk we met the cyclists at the Pub at Manton which was packed inside and out with everyone enjoying the lovely weather.

Tuesday 12/31/2002 6:31:50pm Name: marilyn yaxley-russell E-Mail: [email protected] City/Country: Florida, USA Comments: I was brought up in Headington, Oxford..and Upper Heyford was always a part of my family's life..I feel really sad thinking that it is no more...I married a GI, Larry Russell (stationed in OMS 1975-1979)..and we now live in Florida..but when we went back for a vacation in 2000 it was very nostalgic for us both..it bought a lump to my throat seeing the buildings so empty and unkempt and remembering all the wonderful times we had there..I LOVED that place..it was like a little piece of America...so new...so exciting..and so many happy times..and so many nice friendly people...!!!My friend, Diana and I had our first Tequilla Sunrise in the All ranks club..Met new people, English locals,Charmaine, Philomena both from Woodstock.. and Americans.The summers of 1975 and 1976 were great, we had some of the best hot sunny DRY days..Had some fun dancing the night away there,and in the brass Bar...We were stationed back there again in 1990-1994...we closed the base, one of the last families to leave there in June 1994...I worked at the Merchants Bank for a short time,...awful place..with some awful people managing it...oops guess I shouldnt say that!!!! How I wish Upper Heyford as a USAF base was still up and running...Ill always have the best memories of Upper Heyford..
