@lookseeitsme Hi, my husband was also an army medic, and he accompanied a solidier to the psychiatric hospital in the 70's. We visit there when we go to eastleigh to see my daughter, and he thinks its very sad to see the only part now remaining is the chapel.

I worked at RVCP and its sister site Westwood in the early 90's. I have long moved away from the area, its fantastic to see it again. Great video and very educational :)

Enjoyed your film. Nice to see such good use made of the grounds.

I have some very fond memories on my time as an army medic in the psychiatric hospital in the early 1970s.

Very informative.

I have been visting RVCP since it opened in 1980.

Dad was groundsman for the Sports Association.
