Well blow me down, did we really look like that in those days?
The story went around at the time that the pilot only had main gear greens on his return from the range, A mate said that as soon as the aircraft stopped, he observed a shower of maps, papers, and other bit's and pieces ascending above the cockpit, closely followed by a fast moving pilot sprinting away across the bundu. (Rumour is a wonderful thing)
Thanks for publishing Airpolice, very good pictures by your late brother who was quite talented.
I was often able to watch returning aircraft from my deckchair about 200 yds from the centreline. 1 Sqn and others featured regularly.
A good one for the caption competition me thinks
