This factor combined with the construction of a bloody tall chimney adjacent to the airfield by RioTinto Zinc prompted a move to RAF Leconfield.
My Dad arranged a day out to Jersey and back on the 5th June 1968 on Herald GAPWD, via Hull! We landed at Hull going up and then coached to RAF Leconfield and WD flew across empty. Coming back there were not many of us on board back to Luton so no need for the coach to Leconfield!
