[303rd-Talk] Molesworth history: Site 7

[Tooley, Dave]

Jim,
This is the first time I have seen that photo of the Officer's Club bar.
Wow!  Do you know anything about the bar, when was it built, by whom,
etc.  Really impressive bit of work!

Question, wonder if that history booklet says anything about Site 7
where the
Officer''s mess and the bar were located?  It would be wonderful to have
a
replica that could be set up at reunions!

Molesworth was created for efficiency, but I always thought the most
elegant
part was the Officer''s Club Bar with that magnificent Hell''s Angels
Logo.

One photo is: http://www.303rdbg.com/pp-303rdbar.html

These days, the image conjured for a Hell''s Angels Bar would have
tattooed men
dressed in motorcycle jackets with red bandanas tied around their hair,
excepting pony tails.
