I live not too far from Colerne and have a deep interest in the airfield, particularly the Hastings era of which sadly I was too young to remember.
I would love to have a look in the cockpit and nav/air sig positions of a Hastings, but that is a bit difficult, does any one have any pics that they could email me of the crew area?
my email address is glennboult@aol.com
Thanks
I'm searching for any photos of the hastings of No.70 sqdn based in RAF Nicosia from 1962 to the closing of that station and sqdns ops in mid 64.I wonder whatever happened to WD 500, the C in C's "joyrider"( as we called it),my hands are still aching from the polishing of the fuselegae with wd brasso wadding.
