I was at Edinburgh Field from July to December, 1957, in "Antler" H.Q. The Hastings were used on the Maralinga Shuttle each day, they used to bring men down for R.and R. on a Friday, take wet suppies up and return on a Monday with the empties. I remember one being damaged with a fork lift whilst loading.

There were tales of them being flown with the pax door off, was this true?
