Danny,
What an interesting post. I've spent some time at Leeming in the 80s, but had no idea of this "resident". I spent most of my service on the Hercules, and remember distinctly the rumour that Bay 8 (I'm sure it was 8 though 11 rings a bell) was similarly haunted. I remember when I was trade boss on the ALSS line shift one night one of our lads coming back in to the line with areal sweat on, convinced someone had appeared in the nose wheel bay of the aircraft as he was working. At night, the bay in question had an eerie feel to it, and certainly would lend itself to such beliefs. Despite several of us visiting the bay that evening nothing unusual was observed, but to the day I retired, the "lineys" perpetuated the myth. I bet there's many such a story from our recent past.
