You must be on about the Fleece. My mother still lives in St Helens as do two of my sisters, I go back now and again ( not as often as I should do ) I remember playing snooker in the airmens mess most nights, but I had nothing to do with the personnel. I remember frank Migy and one or two others, but I was only a 15 year oldat the time. I served in Aden with my old man before I was casevaced out in 1967,
. wish I hadn't written that I feel OLD now.

Hi I did not serve at Haydock, My old man did. I think the Hotel you are looking for was the Huntsman.
It is still there but I believe its just a pub now.

My old man was Sgt Policeman at RAF haydock in 1962 or there abouts. Jim Makin was his name. Ilived onthe camp for about 4 years until he and myu family were osted to Cyprus and I stayed behind. later I joined up and served in Aden along with my old man. Iwas only a teenager at the time but i still remember the place quite well. I have a few photo's of the old man around somewhere if anyo9ne wants them. He died in 2010 at lytham St annes.
