Video showing SEN-022 clip from Ken Senar's film.   Continued story of the AOC's Inspection at RAF Borgentreich 1st May 1956.    CLOCK: 10.00.   The inspection sequence begins and its progress is timed and titled in the film.   Radio vehicles, the 2 barrack blocks, the Airmen's Mess, NAAFI, Stores, PSI shop, and Sick Quarters are all inspected before lunch.   The inspection is interrupted after the first barrack block by a 'Fire' turnout.   It was usual during such inspections for the Station Fire facilities to be tested.   The A.O.C.'s driver sets some old cardboard boxes alight for this purpose.   The fire alarm is sounded and the Fire Picket turns out, watched, of course, by the A.O.C.   He was satisfied with the speed and efficacy of the response.   Unusually, the building work was also included during the morning's inspection.   This work, when completed, more than doubled the area and facilities on the camp.

There is no sound with this clip.   This clip runs for 2 mins 18 secs.

(Thanks to Ken Senar for original film.)
