    I was based at Wilton Park for 6 months in 1994 before going to Sandhurst. The tower was called the Wilton Hilton and was senior officer accommodation. We trained in that gym everyday and my PTI was Kellly Holmes the Olympic athlete although she wasn’t famous then. All Gurkhas went there to learn English and 22 SAS were there at the same time as me learning Bosnian before going to the war on special ops. There were also senior Russian Naval officers there learning English. Very fond memories

    I work for a company who had the contract for the M.O.D Beaconsfield. We were told two reasons for the closure of the tower block. The first reason was that somebody had jumped off the top. The second reason was the buildings swayed too much In high winds and was unsafe.

    During the 1960s, I used to play football with the Beaconsfield Youth Club, and we played our home games inside the base at Wilton Park on Saturday afternoons. I remember playing the games and then going home to watch Doctor Who in the early years. There was also a lake near the entrance to base but many years later it dried up. My brother and I would go fishing there. I think it was called Lake Latchmere (not sure of the spelling).

    Adolf Galland Luftwaffe fighter ace was interrogated here in the manor house which was demolished in the 1970’s. He talks about it in his autobiography. Another inmate was Von Ribbontropp before the Nuremberg War trials. Later Colonel Gadafi ( Libya) spent time here learning to speak English during the 1970’s.

    Given the damp in the bunker the plasticine may have been the remains of chinagraph type 'leads' for marking glass map fronts radar screens etc, they came in little green cardboard boxes of 10 leads, there were various colours & they were used in a sort of propelling pencil.

    I visited the tower recently. No sign of security and the cameras and sensors have gone.
    All the other buildings have gone and most of it is housing now.
    The building with the round tower to the left of the tower block has been burnt down.

    One reason buildings are left to rot is because you cannot claim the VAT back on renovations but you can on new builds.

    There has always been a good stock of vehicles for the use of the authorities in the UK. Some of the vehicles have been re-engineered so they look plain and go like snot. With number plates that signal - do not stop. All the microwave apparatus has been removed and the shortwave. There has been plenty of military married quarters left un-used, though the quality of much of it does not meet council standards, so cannot be rented nor sold.
