I was born in Flitwick when it was a sleepy village (and two of my uncles worked at Bedford shed for the LMS)
Flitwick has changed a little.
Around the late 70's/early 80's I used to do the Henlow 10, which I think either went through or maybe finished in Flitwick. I managed to get under the hour on one occasion.
I can't remember whether Flitwick was sleepy or not!

Not by then I think!
Flitwick is 40 miles from London and on the fast 4 track railway you can get there in 38 minutes. It has therefore developed from the idyllic backwater of my birthplace to commuter central.

So you were based at RAF Chicksands?
I was also living near an airfield. My father worked at what was then Cranfield Institute of Technology (previously RAF Cranfield, then Cranfield College of Aeronautics, and now Cranfield University).
