High Wycombe recent comments:

Back in 1961-65, I worked in the Weather Central at High Wycombe Air Station. Visited there in 2005 and actually got on the site with my VA id card, but couldn't stay long and of course so much had changed. Back then, lived in a little cottage outside of Marlow up on the Frieth Road, but couldn't find the old place, named Windbourne back then. Would like to connect with any of you folks that might have been there around that time. My email is tstullich@yahoo.com .

The fountain is now sealed up under concrete

When I was here (as a dependent) in 1967-1970, it was known as High Wycombe Air Station, part of the US 8th Air Force. I went to scout meetings in a building just inside the front gate, and the schools were off Florida Street (K-3) and across the public right of way in Quonset huts in the area of Fifth Street (4-6). Junior high and high school students went to RAF Upper Heyford.

when my mom was stationed there in 98-01 i had the pleasure of walking into the bunker. As far as i know it was used by the USMC for CQB training, which could be evidenced by the thousands of sim rounds laying around.

This is near High Wycombe, Bucks, near Loudwater.

I was stationed at Daws Hill for 3 years, 1962-64, with the USAF 485th Comm Sq, 7th AD (SAC). I worked in the nuclear bunker. Does anyone know if the bunker is still accessible, or has it been sealed off? Daws Hill (aka High Wycombe Air Station) was HQ for 7th AD (SAC) in the UK. E-mail rmuir@hvc.rr.com Thanks

Daws Hill was the headquarters for the 7th Air Division USAF in the UK

I was stationed at Daws Hill for 3 years with the USAF 1962-64 with the 7th AD, 485th Comm Sq. I worked in the nuclear bunker the entire time. Does anyone know if the bunker is still acessible or has it been sealed off?

Trains used to go to Maidenhead and beyond until the line via Wooburn Green, Loudwater and Bourne End was closed in the 1960's. Also to Marlow.

Strike Command or Air Command as it's now called is in Walters Ash. There is a huge bunker there too, clearly visable on this map. Daws Hill was never Strike Command, it was used by the US since WW2 and through the cold war only being abandoned in the summer of 2007.

The best in South Bucks as far as I am concerned.

Sorry, I may be wrong about this

I thought it was still HQ Strike Command. Maybe I am out of date

This is not the HQ of Strike Command, that's in Walters Ash about 8 miles from Daws Hill

great if you're a chav and like your food centrally prepared, shipped out to the branch and then warmed up. that was in whitbread's ownership days, maybe it's better now?
