Beagle,

That's a nice photograph. Directly behind the aircraft is the hangar they operated from in the early 70s, when I was based there. They had one half and we (The Lightning Minor Servicing Team) had the other. The Hangar to the immediate left of the U2 is the TASF Hangar, with the annexes being used as Station Hydraulic Bay, and at the top end the Staion Tyre Bay. The Hansard across the pan to the right was the Vulcan Aircraft Servicing Flight hangar, one of two used for second line servicing of 9 and 35's bombers. I'm not sure what year this was taken, the car park to the left of the TASF Hangar was not there in 1975, when I left. Thanks for posting it, it brings back some happy memories.
