I rejoined 214 in Oct 64, returning to Marham as my posting of choice for my last 6 months of service. I was pleased to be assigned to my old squadron and see old friends, but it was a heartbreaking period.
There was very little flying and the a/c were subjected to daily 'anti-deterioration checks'. This for the radio trades was almost the same as a pre-flight.
From my point of view, the lack of work meant that when I requested leave for job interviews I got the days I wanted. So the demise of the Valiant had a small silver lining.
When I left RAF Marham, and 214 Sqdn for the second time, on Friday 5th February 1965 to commence my demob leave; the decision to scrap the Valiant had not reached the Squadrons.
I believe it happened the next week.
