I knew John Stewart who was groundcrew at Little Rissington for a short time in 1965 prior to his discharge. Details a bit vague on why he went from a V bomber base (can’t remember which one) to a training base, but we used to joke that once he got the OK to discharge he couldn’t be trusted at the sharp end!
Pity things didn’t work out better because they had lots of big time offers which they couldn’t take up as serving members of the RAF, and some found it virtually impossible to buy themselves out. So they ended up splitting up and remembered as “One Hit Wonders”!
