Oxford trainng

Was anyone out there based at Dalcross 1952-3.
Approach from one direction was over the railway, and we had orders to overshoot if there was a train coming. Apparently the train drivers were upset by low approaches. The other reason for leaving the circuit was if there was a BEA DC3 from the Orkneys on approach.
One other prohibition was low flying pass Cawdor castle as the Thane thought we were looking in bedroom windows.
