Would you be referring to the hangar on the south side filling up with a number of Beagle Pups? I delivered most of them fresh out of the factory at Shoreham to Radlett. One of my students at Elstree bought them of the receiver (Cork?) who was, I think, the same receiver for HP? A deal was done to park them at Radlett til they sold; as I recollect.
It was quite odd landing there and pushing them into the now huge empty hangar as I had worked there for a while as a Flight Test Eng on the Jetstream project.
A missed opportunity as Radlett would have made an ideal airport for commuter/domestic travel.
