Well 612 were boltholed to Halton sometime in the late '80s or early '90s (kicked out of Benson until someone twigged there was an empty airfield at Abingdon and get in quick before the Army ruined it), but it was probably the resident 613 you flew with.
I was Wing Gliding Liaison Officer for both schools at the time of the co located operations.
