Dad got a posting to RAF Lyneham in the early 1980s, and then ended up buying a house in the nearest big town.

Does it count if I moved to Swindon from Purton? Probably not.

My family moved here when I was ickle. Dad worked in London but we have family both west and east of Swindon, seemed like a good compromise.
