Goldsborough camp housed the men and back up staff supporting the work going on at Fylingdales. Geoffrey was tired and lonely when he arrived, but soon got to know the others in the Billet. Their accommodation block had bunk beds and there was a stove in the middle and a bathroom and showers at the rear; the men ate in the Airmen’s Mess. In present times the site is better known as East Barnby Centre, part of the North Yorkshire Outdoor Learning Service and described as: “The UK’s Greatest Outdoor Classroom”; providing a residential centre for field studies or outdoor activities.
