RAF Woodvale

Going back somewhat the following have been into Woodvale.
Lincoln, Lancaster, Anson.Oxford, Hercules, Argosy, Britannia,Beverley, Hastings, Varsity, Viking,Valletta. Hawk, Gnat Canberra, Hunter, Prentice,Proctor,Tucano, in fact almost everything that could squeeze itself in. Now home to the two UAS squadrons flying Grobs. Large private hangar contains several interesting civilian types but don't expect to get in.
Almost forgot to mention the helios, Sycamore, Whirlwind, Wessex, Chinook etc .
There is no longer a gate guardian.The Phantom, which was not indicative of having been based there went about three or four years ago having taken over from the Meteor which had been based there. The THUM flight operated with Spitfires originally and then went onto Mosquitoes. Ah ! those were the days.
