I went to Raynham from training at Weeton in 1961 and spent a happy time on DFCS working on Hunters. Spent many an hour on the line getting choked by the fumes of the AWFCS Javelins parked alongside of us when they started up. I remember one of the antics some of the crazier guys got up to was dropping plastic cups of AVPIN down the chimney of the line-hut, the effect was pretty dramatic.
Another use for the AVPIN was for cleaning the hangar floor on a friday afternoon with the eng officer watching from the sidelines smoking a cigarette!
