New headquarters for the Skegness Air Training Corps was built near the water tower in Burgh Road.
The picture shows two workmen sorting the asbestos sheets which was used for the outside walls.
The Flight Lieutenant said it was an up-to-date building. They had used the previous building in Wainfleet Road for the past 17 years and it was now looking dilapidated.

I was a cadet in 1073 squadron atc when it was formed in about 1950. The officer in charge was Mr Fagin and Mr Spilman and Mr Dalby were also officers. The first head quarters was an old oval shaped nissen hut later replaced by a prefab type building about 100 yards away both on I think it was called Old Wainfleet Road.I joined the Royal Air Force in 1954 and served for 20 years in places like RAF Pembrey in Wales RAF Cranwell RAF Seletar in Singapore RAF Middle Wallop RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus and many other places. I thank 1073 squadron Skegness for getting me interested in aircraft and a great career.
