PSP runway was adjacent, have a full map of original site, will post if I can find it.

BTW Shack was 2nd aircraft as Sea Vixen had already flown in (Navy got there first ). The beat up of the airfield by the 2 Shackletons landed was quite something else, still got the ringing in my ears 36 (?) years later.

When site was originally disposed off the deal included SCC who had the run way and the buildings which went to the museum.

One thing you never see is pictures of the concrete blast pens that were located at the dispersals until the early 60's when many of the outlying buildings and concrete was auctioned off.
