In my recollection, the Nord 1002's were used as substitute Me109's for filming. The French Air Attache had a Fouga Magister there; used to nip off to Paris on saturday mornings. Used to do wonderful 'wet' starts.
613 VGS from Halton occasionally operated a DF there prior to 617 moving in from Hendon. I was a staff cadet on 613 and gained my Soaring Certificate (BGA 'C' Cert) there.
