What do I do now? I got to Scotland, and the base wasn’t there. Now this isn’t like Mercury House – for all I know that hadn’t been built in 05. But we’re talking about an entire Army camp here. I only went there once, for a couple of weeks, so I don't know it that well, but I would have said it was Second World War vintage.

One think I remember from the time that I was stationed there was the Black Watch war memorial, from the First Afghan War. You don’t forget a thing like that – seven hundred troops killed by the atomic bomb in Kabul.

That memorial must have been put up in the late 80’s/early 90’s. My visit was in 07 – so if the camp was there then, and was definitely around in the 80’s/90’s, then it must be here now, in 05. We’re not talking brilliant camouflage by the way – there was just a pine forest where the camp should be. I spent half a day tramping through it, and there is just no sign of a single building anywhere.

I’m back in Norwich now. I’m going to spend the day in the library, reading newspapers, and looking up some reference books, to try to work out what’s happening to me.
