Default ECO

I believe that I have made a major boo-boo! I am pretty certain that HQ Southern Command was in Aldershot. However HQ Eastern Command, not Southern Command as I mis-remembered, was in the Cavalry Barracks in Beavers Lane, Hounslow, Middlesex. Dad says that Beavers Camp which was set-up in wartime on Hounslow Heath, opposute side of the road and about a hundred yards west, had massive workshop facilities. That is where trucks and probably motorcyles were refurbished post-war. I think the RASC moved from Feltham to Beavers Camp, and at some stage the Signals were there as well. So, ECO = Beavers Camp, Hounslow I think!
