I'm intrigued by that photo because we once had a new senior engineering officer who went out to see the 'Flypast' & stood right in the middle between the two hangers, while the rest of us stood near to the hangar walls. We watched & waited in delighted anticipation, knowing full well what was coming!
I'm intrigued by that photo because was that guy in the middle the very same senior engineering officer that I saw?
It certainly was a regular thing at St Athan at the time, but the rumour mill says that the station commander decided that it should not go on.
