 | | Cpl A P Thompson was now firmly installed as Warden of the 500 yards Straight Point Range, after faithfully reporting Lympstone's first two years of 'growing pains' in the Corps Journal, whilst other firing ranges in use locally by the trainees during this period were at Starcross, Merrivale and Scorrington. |
 | | By the time Lympstone established its own 30 yards range in May 1944, Pat Thompson was back there again sending in his despatches once more, informing us that the RM tradesmen who constructed it, using materials from Exmouth blitzed sites, at the same time built a mini-steeple and a vestry for the camp church. |
 | | On 18 August 1946 the Pre-OCTU (Preparatory course for young officer candidates) closed its doors at Lympstone with HO 44 Course, whilst the Depot had taken on a new role the previous Spring with the training of RME (engineer) recruit entries. |
