Another good night at RAF Upper Heyford, god i love this place so much. Spent some time looking around the old Dorms pretty much all of them are locked up tight then we came along to Building 446 and the door was open. It was Home to the 20th Equipment Maintenance Squadron ( EMS ) Pretty bland and stripped but some great artwork that the servicemen had painted on the walls was a treat to see.
History of the EMS
The original Field Maintenance Squadron, was the same thing as the final Equipment Maintenance Squadron, FMS/EMS. These outfits included the Fuel Shop, Egress Shop, Hydralics/Pneudralics Shop, Electric Shop, Phase Inspection Docks, Aircraft Repair and Recovery (AR), AGE, Paint/Corrosion Control Shop, Engine Shop, Welding Shop, Machine Shop and of course the Sheet Metal Shop. These were eventually incorporated into the (CRS) Component Repair Squadron, and finally the EMS.
