PN,

Weren’t all of the V-force bases originally built with 24 dispersals, enough for 8 each for 3 Squadrons?
I remember this coming up in a post years ago when someone enquired about centralised servicing when all squadron aircraft were allocated to Engineering Wing and the squadrons then consisted of nothing but aircrew.

When 35 returned from Cyprus, and when centralised servicing was abolished and the squadrons acquired their own aircraft again (mid 70’s?) how did 27, 35, 617 and the OCU fit into Scampton’s 4 hangars (1 for Eng Wing/ASF)?
