Looked at Twotters previous post and found that Polebrook had already been mentioned in dispatches (forgive me, I am a newbie at this - and I DID read the sticky - whoops!), and that James Stewart had been stationed there.
Well, a little research later and I have found that;
1. Clark Gable was stationed there also to make a film;
2. It was an IRBM base !

Scary stuff - glad the cold war is over !
Would be a nice ride on a sunny day.
P.S. Do you know John (with the Repsol Fireblade) from Sawtry.
