I was at Honington from 1962 until 1966 and I never heard anything about it becoming a TSR 2 base. When the Valiants were withdrawn it was Marham that was bereft of aircraft, there being only one Valiant squadron at Honington. Nos 55 & 57 Victor Squadrons subsequently moved to Marham to fill a void and also because tanker operations were established there. Honington then went on to C&M and eventually, in the early 70s, became a Buccaneer base for no other reason than it was empty. The Buccs went and then the Regiment moved in from Catterick.
