Basil,

I'm happy to be corrected, but I'm fairly sure that the Buccaneers always flew out of Holme on Spalding Moor (always referred to as 'HOSM' at Brough). They were taken there by road - I remember that the lamp posts on Skillings Lane, down which they had to travel, were fitted with hinges to pull them down out of the way each time an aircraft was taken through - a bit like Thunderbird 2 and its palm trees.

The big chimney was a Rio Tinto Zinc plant addition, and has since been removed.

Best regards as ever to those actually building the aircraft,
