ACW599.
i doubt if it did rollers as they needed ‘Mobile’ to talk them down over the threshold on account the pilot can’t see ahead. At AKT they had a big powerful car with a pilot driving giving heights to the PF, “That’s one hundred over the Tee” etc.
In the 80’s I drove passed Alconbury and there were four in the visual circuit!
