“I remember my first visit to Chessington as a child (maybe 5 years old) when it was still the zoo, with a ride on the miniature railway, and again when it had the suspended monorail. As an adult, I started my working life as a field service engineer based on the Chessington industrial estate, sometimes visiting UK military administration offices across the southeast. One of those calls was to RAF Chessington when it was still the RAF regional payroll processing site to repair one of their computers. Incidentally, the contemporary regional army payroll office was up in Tolworth Tower.”
