Dad says there where no aircraft based there, the only aircraft coming in and out where for delivering Officers, for what reason he doesn’t know, the aircraft never stayed.
The only other aircraft that where there, had been brought in by the salvage crews.

Could you ask your dad if there was any aircraft or flying at Little Horwood whilst he was there ?

Thanks for your help it jogs Dads memory. He says that he was there during the closing down taking various things some quite small to other RAF stations round the country.
