WINDSOR SCHOOL >>>> |
| When
the girls moved to their own school early in 1960 Windsor School became
Windsor Boys' School. The buildings had been used for a variety of purposes including, as Argonner Kaserne, base for a German artillery regiment and later, as Brixton Camp, temporary home to prisoners of war. In 1948 the 61st Tank Transporter Unit was based there, a Polish unit responsible for moving the tanks of the 5th Royal Tank Regiment at Newcastle Barracks, later Windsor Girls School. |

fact that the WBS Combined Cadet Force was a 'front' for a secret British
space project. Here an intrepid astronaut suits up prior to a flight whilst ground crew queue to inspect the cunningly disguised re-entry vehicle at RAF Gutersloh in the early 1970s'. Photos from the helmeted Philip Griffiths (E 69-72) |
