Actually Farnborough's tonka but permanently (it seemed) detached to Bedford.
Bedford was what the yanks called a 'COB' or Combined Operating Base for Alconbury, and I believe there was an almost permanent detachment of 'handlers' ie guys in a high powered car and some sets of outriggers in order to handle TR1's/U2R's.
