PS by 'quadrant I think he means the Polish Airforce
'checker board'

Nope, it's "square" - a designed place with "flights director" in duty,
and where all people should stay if they do nothing important. I don't
know if it has an equivalent in english (language and procedures).

"Kwadrat" it's also the callsign of "flights director" on uncontrolled
(club) airfield. Just like the "Tower" is for controlled fields.

So "I was brought up in the quadrant" should be understood as "I was
brought up in the heart of airfield"
