Thanks to Mark Whitten for these
Here are just a view of the pictures that I took while in Thurso
April 2004
Memories....
I took the sign off the wall and carried it back over with my as
check in luggage..
How cool is that.
There was no power to the building a company has bought the base
and is turning it
into a business park. I got a tour the next day from one of the
guys. He gave me the sign.
TC is trashed and there fixing to do the comm. building in about
2 months (fix it up)
The gym floor is trashed. They don't know if they are going to leave
it as a gym or make it
into more offices.. There looking at the Gym bit and leaving the
floor as memories of all
the US sailors who once served there.. How cool.
Do you remember Eric. He worked in the kitchen and during the war
he brought us
soup and doughnuts @ 0200. He misses the Americans alot he
said and told me to tell
everyone he said hi.
More of the Comm. building
The logo
The Clay pigeons shooting range
The antenna's now a windmill
The guard shack use to sit here now it's gone.
The building that they have converted into offices are painted yellow.
This is Tech Control (now) it has been hit up bad my kids.
Red Tags still up from when leaving the base. PQS at it's best.
Antenna coupling room behind Tech Control.
Upstairs this was in one of the offices. I remember the painting
but forgot about it
until that day.
This is floor of the old club. They used the walls off the racket
ball court to lay the floor
in the club. it's a lunch hall now.
This was one of the rooms that I stayed in. I had three of them
while I was there until
moving out into the town.
This is the weight room. There starting to work in that area of
the base now.
Talk to you later.
