Sad. We spent 8 years at RAF Bentwaters & Woodbridge and 3 at Lakenheath. I managed a Domino’s that used to be right in Beck Row, by The Bird In Hand, Mildenhall. I understand that business is located elsewhere in Mildenhall now, but gosh, the memories.
Ah, the Bird In Hand. I stayed there a couple times in the ‘90’s. Once I had to go to a noisy pub in town....by the river. I rented a house for over a year over in Lakenheath village.
I still have fond memories of the 3 years (67-69) I was stationed at Lakenheath. I was TDY to Wheelus AFB when we got thrown out of Lybia.
The Bird in Hand. I drank many pints in that pub, great friends and great memories. Sad to see it all going.
513 Civil Engineering Squadron, RAF Mildenhall, 1972-1975.
