Topic: Chivenor


  
  I
RAF Chivenor was an airfield set in an attractive geographical area, ideal in summer with three attractive beaches close at hand, Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay and Woolacombe Bay (the latter is actually mapped as 'Morte' Bay) and, to the north-east the lovely Devon coast between Ilfracombe and Lynton.
I immediately called Tony to report my predicament to Chivenor tower and to tell them that I wanted to remain on the quiet channel, and also for him to come back to this channel after passing his message to the tower.
I was taken back to Chivenor's sick quarters, given an examination by the Medical Officer and told to go home immediately and rest for 24 hours, since the MO suspected I might be suffering from shock; I felt quite normal though.
