My log book records 2 flights, one in PH859 to Benson and back on 5 Jun 1963 and the other in VL337 to Tangmere and back on 30 Apr 1965.
Note the pristine looking T2 hangars (4 in total but only 2 visible); at the time the Annies were stood down and between our last ops by 613 GS on detachment from Halton and 617 GS moving in from Hendon, all 4 were reclad, only to be demolished/dismantled a short time later (1971?) when the airfield closed. Wonder if they were moved elsewhere or disposed of?
