Following on from Speedbird48, I was at Bovingdon in 1961/2. The USAF were still in situ with half a dozen C 47's. Fighter Comm Sqn were equipped with 6 Ansons, 1 Valletta, 1 Devon, 1 Meteor T7 and a Meteor NF14 with camera mounts for air to air photography. Coastal Comm Flt had four Ansons, (3 Mk 19's and a 21) and a VIP Valletta. Short's had the servicing contract. The French Air Force/Navy had a Fouga Magister based there for use by military attaches at the London embassy.
