242 Operational Conversion Unit
No 242 OCU, posted to RAF Dishforth, received its Beverley Flight in 1957. The OCU's instructors trained aircrew and ground staff in the flying and maintenance of the aircraft. In 1961, the unit moved to RAF Thorney Island, but the Beverley flight was disbanded in March 1967.
The first C-130 Hercules was delivered on 7 April 1967 by a Royal Air Force crew from the United States of America and shared the airfield with the Armstrong Whitworth AW.660 Argosy and later the Andover C Mk1 which was operated by No. 84 Squadron RAF[27] and No. 46 Squadron RAF
