Long story 7F were on a TA centre since the 60s in their own hut, land was being sold at rear of the centre and the money realised and part ofthe deal was to build a tri-service cadet building by adding a second story to the old small bore range. Eventually what happened was the ‘new Wing Commander’ decided that the money for the conversion which never was, was not to be used in conjuction wth the ACF to undetake work in the main TA barracks building. Forced a shotgun merger with 90 (Speke Squadron) and moved 7F into actually Garston where Speke Sqaudron are. Far higher crime area compared to Aigbuth TA barracks, whichare surrounded by twenty foot fences the majority with spikes on. The ACF are still in the TA Barracks.
I would suggest that you have a peruse of these documents as they make interesting reading.
No, not totally, there is still the vehicle hardstanding behind the barracks but the ACF use the building which was what 7F did prior to the bombshell being dropped on the fateful monday night. The Sqaudron were informed without warning and the OC 90 Squadron didn’t know what was happening either. He only found out after 7F staff and CWC. OC 90 Squadron was I believe furious and he has since I believe left the ACO.
