Thank you for the heads up on the book by Tim senior, I have placed an order. My own experience of the Hasting was carrying out maintenance at RRE Pershore in the 1960s and the registration was WD499 IIRC. At the same time RRE Pershore also operated the Hermes prototype VX234. Unfortunately both aircraft were consigned to the fire training role.
