Hastings at Colerne

Ancientaviator62
Many Thanks for the info on 528. On the 19th Feb 1974 Hastings TG536 landed at 10.40 for the last time at Colerne. It stayed at the aircraft museum unit until Colerne and the museum closed - SAD ! - March 1976. 536 ended its days at RAF Catterick fire pits. 71 mu cut it up to transport it there. They even removed the sign on the fuselage which said this aircraft is to be preserved as a memorial to the Berlin Airlift. On a good note many parts went on to form the Halifax at Elvington.
Anyone know which Hastings came into Colerne to pick up the crew of 536 ?
