Your description of a busy period at Bedford was lacking one vital component....
At least they weren`t firing a Phantom of the steam catapult in between all that!
Was there as a trainee ATCO in the early 70`s

Are you sure it wasn`t Court Lines Tristar "Halcyon Days" that was parked overnight? I seem to remember that happening in 1973.
One particular event I recall was working 3 Hastings at one time in the circuit. One being delivered to the fire dump and burning off the last of its fuel, the other to collect the crew of the first, and the last being the RaE one doing things with the ILS.
With thanks to None Of The Above for pointing out this thread...he was there too.
