In the mid 1960's the dispersal was called Exercise Kinsman according to my log book. The system was that (with the exception of the QRA aircraft and those on major maintenance) all aircraft were dispersed as they were generated. The senior crews took the first made ready and so on. The junior crews got the raw deal hanging around all day and then having to fly to some unknown airfield. We were sent to Lyneham on one occasion and on 5 Jan 65 dispersed to Llanbedr. The rub here was that you had to be on the ground ast Llanbedr by 1700 because they let the sheep back onto the airfield then. As we were one of the last to be sent off it was a shortish trip before landing at Llanbedr just before the deadline. In the dark I recall the radar vectoring and approach quite scary as the runway lights were uni-directional and we were vectored to fly 090 towards Snowdon for what seemed like a very long time with no runway lights in sight on a very dark evening.
