Correct (according to the list), and yes, it was Danny at White Horse Hill
- that would have been his first gig as the "official" Hawkwind drummer.
But note the overlap between him & Clive on earlier gigs ...

No, it was after he was fired/quit.  His last gig before that would have
been Worthing, the last show of the fall '84 tour.  I distinctly remember
reading in Brian Tawn's Hawkwind feedback that the split occurred in winter
'85 (I can't remember whether it was before or after the Hawkon in
Manchester), and that a later issue mentioned Westbury being the first
"reunion" with Nik.
