228 OCU Coningsby (Shadow 64 Sqn?) was commanded by a Sqn Ldr in 1975 and was actually larger in terms of crews and airframes than the Main F4 Sqns on the base.
? Mike Shaw was OC 228 in '75 and was def a WgCo.

You may be thinking of the Lightning Training Flight which had a Sqdn Ldr OC from 75 to when it shut in '87. Not the same Sqdn Ldr obviously...

The last one was Clive Rowley who was OC when Baz Lennon banged out over the airfield during a display workup; leading to the famous call 'I've broken that one sir, can I have another.'
