Seeing as Norfolk has now extended into Lincolnshire, can anyone claryify the history of Coningsby?
I was posted in to Coningsby in October 1956. The station had been closed for upgrading to V-Bomber standard.
We had 57 Sqdn posted in with B2 Canberra's, to 'work up' the station. In the following 12 months I, a Radar Fitter, attended a Victor course at Gaydon and started doing 'V-Bomber Equipment' courses at Yatesbury.
On return from the 1st of these courses, I was posted to Transport Command!
This was to RAF Liaison Party Istres, so I was real chuffed and didn't care what was happening to Coningsby.
I later returned to Bomber Command, 214 Sqdn Valiants at Marham, and Coningsby had dropped of the map.
After some sort of gap, I heard that Coningsby hosted various a/c from Lightnings to Vulcans, what happened while I wasn't looking?
