Pontius Navigator (#65),
Nor at Thorney Island (1960). Cubby-hole on ground floor along corridor from Met office. No WRAF. Kipped in it many a night (CPN-4 radar was out on the field, but Landy could get me out there in a couple of minutes).
(Leeming [1970] had the AR-1 and PAR consoles in Approach).

"Range" immaterial - where there's a will, there's a way ! Always highest standard of professional behaviour when I rostered myself on in those circumstances. On occasions when I was not present, never heard of any untoward happenings during night. No doors ever found broken open. So assume nothing ever happened. Or at least hope not !
But .... "What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over" ........
Once found suspicious new young WRAF Controller closely examining door and frame for drill-holes ! (no, not Section Officer Harvey) - none found !
