Edwards said it was bloody dreadful TBH - he went there to check out the runway and things like under wing clearances. Apparently at that time the CAF manned it like a lighthouse - a month on and a month off with 2 "crews" - but when the RAF arrived they just didn't relieve the "crew" until after operations ceased to minimise leakage.
