BB,
if you flew in a Hastings in 1972 then it was probably a T5 OF '1066 Flight' from Lindholme. So one of your own from Bomber Command.
The Transport/ Air Support Command Hastings were all stood down in 1967/8 as the Hercules entered service.
And Transport Command/Air Support Command Loadmasters were far too sophisticated to behave in such a crude manner
