Danny,
When a Squadron went "walk-about" in the way that you describe, how much went with it? Other than the aircrew flying the aircraft there, presumably the rest piled into MT and followed. Your MT or the Station's from whence you came? I guess the convoy would include the remaining aircrew, groundcrew, admin (Adj and clerk?), together with all your kit, spares, files, and possible sundries ( I dunno, mascots, furniture (Co's desk?), en-route rations, etc). What was at Double Moorings when you arrived? An RAF Station, nothing, or something in between? Most moves these days are detachments from parent units rather than entire units proceeding lock stock and barrel. A little light on this arcane process would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
