Bedford Dispersal
Tim Mc:-
Have just checked my logbook and found the first use of Bedford as a dispersal airfield by 57 Sqn (Victors) was 6 Mar 61. it had a four aircraft pan at the end of the r/w and we lived in rather odd caravans close to the a/c.
On one of the flyoffs from the dispersals the a/c were routed in a stream up the North Sea in a n/e direction and turned south not too far from Sweden.
One of the Sunday papers picked this up and created quite a furore about needless provocation of the Soviets.
