Not sure if Swanton was 611 GS (I thought it was in the 64_ GS series) ; I know it became No 1 Gliding Centre when Hawkinge closed in '61 and this operated weekdays with the GS operating weekends.
Swanton got a brief reprieve a couple of years ago when they started Vigilant ops but within a week, ops were teminated again.
Strangely a lot of VGS sites are lying empty eg Halton, Henlow etc whereas at Little Rissington there are 2 VGS on the one site!
