Photo showing the aftermath of a storm that hit us in 1968 I think. We had one Canberra severely damaged and after some repair was flown back to Wyton at 10,000 feet or below.
Another Canberra, fully fuelled and chocked, was turned through 90 degrees.
Some squadron groundcrew were caught out in the open and had to attend medical for bruising caused by the giant hailstones.
84 Sqd hangar's roof was peeled back at the corners like a banana, scary.


And another.

And then the dedicated tea man turned up!
