65 - A tour of F-111 base RAF Upper Heyford

In this episode we visit RAF Upper Heyford for a photography tour for Cold War enthusiasts …
The episode is in three parts, the first is some audio from the tour, followed by an interview with Ric Batson a former member of the USAF 20th Security Police Squadron and tour guide as well as an interview with his wife who is also a tour guide covering some aspects of the challenges of being the British wife of USAF service personnel.

This is a really good point of view of a “enlisted man’s “ life on base. Prior to this I had only heard from former Air Force officer. So if you want a day in the life of a Sargent, this is it! Plus you get to hear about his wife how she dealt with base life. I have a lot of respect for the wives and dependents these nice folks move every few years ,that can put a strain on relationships. These two have had there 32nd wedding anniversary. A great story.
