That was the benefit of the motor gliders - they used to be ferried to locations which were not as busy as main bases or to avoid exercises or to be nearer to far flung ATC squadrons.

618VGS certainly operated the Vigilant at Manston and Lyneham even though their home base was Odiham................... and 612 operated the Vigilant at several other sites.

They took advantage of local fire cover and the only requirement was a briefing facility (basic) for students).

Another example of the lack of forward thinking and flexibility being destroyed by people not really familiar with the 'Organisation' and operational possibilities.

Obviously not such a practical option for the Viking.
