"RAF camp at at Ipswich. Wattisham near Ipswich. Meet Kin Stn 09.45. Have arrived safely. Food pretty good. Went to camp cinema and saw 'Only 2 can play'. Have radio in hut with Wattisham F.N. In hut with Covell as only fourth form companion"
I've been meaning to do this all year since coming across my 1963 diary, and have only just realised the days and dates match up with this year. Will now spend/waste some time figuring if this always happens for dates 50 years apart. "Kin Stn" is Kingston Station, and the camp was for members of the CCF at Kingston Grammar School. I'm guessing "Wattisham FN" was Wattisham Forces Network. The photo is recent, but the building is the same as 1963. More may follow.
