Sometime after 1978, it was moved to IAM at Farnborough to co-locate it with IAM Flight consisting of one Hunter T7 flown by that excellent bloke Sqdn/Ldr Dr Mike Bagshaw.
He would take a 'sickie' out in the Hunter, throw it about for a while, then request 'priority return for immediate landing' so I would reply 'steer 090 descend to FL 50' without even looking at the radar because he was always around the Andover area.
I think Mike still flies a Bulldog out of Blackbushe.
