92 sqdrn had 2 good years flying hawks out of chivenor during 1992 to 1994 as part of 7fts along with 19 sqdrn. Someone from the government at the time decided that chivenor should close and flying would cease and transfer to valley where the weather was less good along with brawdy and flying was said to be limited compared to what they had at chivenor according to most military aircraft spotters including myself who has lived within 15mins walk from chivenor for the past 48 years and just about remembers when chivenor closed and the hunters departed for brawdy in 1974.If you ever did manage to talk to a hawk pilot who was posted to chivenor during the 80,s or early 90,s he would perhaps tell you that it was a very good posting to get because of the amount of flying hours that you could get at this particular base rather than the other 2 bases that were using the hawk.
