Some top responses here. I'm not allowed to like posts because I don't have enough of my own presumably.

I was assuming that 'RAF Honiton' would have to be close to Scarborough, as they ran out of fuel over or close to Scarborough. But he doesn't say they ran out of fuel over or close to Scarborough, he just mentions flying over Scarborough and running out of fuel one after the other. Maybe they ran out of fuel far from Scarborough. Upon reflection he probably did mean RAF Honington, which was home to Buccaneers from 69 to 80, although you could still land one there even if none were based there.
