What's at RAFC Cranwell these days? A few Ford Prefects and 3 Phenoms?
I remember we had so many aircraft at Leeming there was not room on the ASP for all of them and one of the supernumary officers in Ops had to devise a phased flying plan. First wave towed out and get in the air, second wave ditto. First wave recover whilst second in the air and so on til bed time when they were put to bed in the same order they were brought out. IIRC we had Jetstreams, JPs, Bulldogs and Chipmunks and RLGs at Dishforth and Topcliffe where RNEFTS decamped every day.
