Hello again, and thank you all for your amazing responce ! I am staggered ! Firstly I must say all of this is somewhat stretching my memory ? it’s 50 years ago ! wow ! I have been searching all evening for info on this thread, limited though it may be ……… It seems most of the remaining tudor fleet were bought up by aviation traders, after it was formerly announced by government that they were “not fit” for transporting passengers ! following Bermuda et al ! converted to freighters, including the ” super trader ” , some were used very effectivly on the berlin airlift.
In answer to HP81’s question, I don’t know ? but see my plan of airport, in which I have added the red detail, I think hanger 1 was as marked ? If I remember correctly these photos were taken at the side of the first two of my marked aviation traders hangers, but I stand to be corrected on any or all of this ! I also (hopefully) include another photo from, I think, the same period of a Tudor 5 looking majestic before it’s demise above assorted prentice’s (or should that be prenti ?) at the same location.
I have also found a potted history of STN, for those who may be interested at ……

As I said earlier I would love my memory to be challenged on any, or, all of this !.

This one makes me want to cry ?
