A large number of the Hunters from Chivenor were based at St. Mawgan for a few days. I clearly remember them lined up at the 26 end of the 26/08 runway. I also remember the armourers stirring large 45 gallon drums of something very volatile before loading it into drop tanks.
The techies in the radar servicing bay could easily detect the aircraft running into the drop area on the ASV 21 radar.
