Hawk parking

Felixpike,

DH is correct as to the sqn dispositions with respect to the 2 ASPs but the normal parking direction for both 63 and 151 Sqns was outwards with armed aircraft on the westerly line facing west and the easterly line facing the hangars. Occasionally, if there was a strong westerly wind, the easterly line would also face west as the Hawk did not like starting with a wind up its rear.
