I was totally unaware there were (at one time) 2 separate units in that area.
When I was at Lindholme, the RAF controllers (1973) were detached one at a time to Patrington for liaison duties. One of them became 'friendly' with a WRAF Flt Lt ficon and brought her to lunch at Lindholme one sunday. Ater lunch we sat in the ante room chatting; he picked up a sunday supplement and this attractive lady said 'wot yer lookin' at that for; ain't no tits in there are there'?
Did Patrington have a T80 about that time? I recall the 'standby' radar for Lindholme was initially a slow rotating (4 rpm) radar from Patrington but early in my detachment, they completed a microwave link which fed in the T84 or T85 from Staxton Wold instead.
