Sometime in the early/mid-1960s, a long time after the RN had returned to Yeovilton and even longer after the RAF had handed it over to the RN in the first place, the aerodrome was virtually abandoned. A handful of RAF personnel looked after the DF station, but that was all. Anyone and everyone could drive up and down the runways.
So it was rather surprising one day, long before the RN reactivated the place, to see a Hastings land. I remember cycling over to watch it subsequently depart from the westerly runway, but wonder to this day what it had been doing there.
Perhaps delivering the new, automatic DF installation - part of the D&D autotriangulation fixer system?
