I recall being diverted into Manston AGAIN in a T 17 in late 60s. Rest of UK out in fog and just about every type of military and civil aircraft parked around the place and ISTR at the edge of the extremely wide runway, although I also seem to recall that the actual runway edges were marked and lit a more normal width apart. The fuel bowser came round and you had a limited amount od fuel, and refuel yourselves.
