I cannot see any memtion of yet another variation of the venerable hastings,the Hastings Met.Mk1 as flown by 202 Sqn. out of Aldergrove daily in 1950, to mid atlantic.Flown at 1000ft,every 100nm. down to 50ft. When at umpteen West,box climb to altitude and return. Various Met instruments were grouped at co-pilots position,frost point hydrometers,other barometric thingies.A report compiled by the Met Observor every 30 mins. the W/Op sent this weather report to Dunstable. This mark of Hastings took over from the Halifax. How do I know? I spent six miserable months there,instead of my posting to 24 Sqn. route flying, before I managed to escape.but thats another story
