Thanks! Looking back (I used to go upto Yeovilton to watch whenever I could after school) I'm sure the SHARs were housed in 1-3 hangars before the move south. Back in the 1980s it was a very busy airfield.
As a civilian, I have heard several rumours since the announcement that the SHARs would go from people 'on the perimeter'.
Culdrose closing and Chinooks moving in comprised the most popular rotary-wing rumours.
Fixed wing have been more diverse, Jaguars and Tonkas moving in being one such possibility.
A rumour that crops up regularly is FRADU moving back from Culdrose, though this might have originated from the NFSF Hawks based at Yeovilton.
RAF xx Sqn moving in from Valley and/or RAF 100 Sqn from Leeming has also been mentioned to me.
I've always replied, I'll believe it when it happens!
