Ahh, Tangmere … my very first trip to a BoB At Home Day, bliss! The 'fence' to keep the crowd away from the runway was a rope laid on the grass, even to a <8yr old child it seemed close - brilliant! When the Hunter did a fast low level pass down the runway from the opposite end to what the chap on the PA system said and made us all jump (especially Mother!) - well that was just the gilt on the gingerbread, magnificent!!
I remember a Squadron taxi adorned with all sorts of signs … "Passing side>, <Suicide" etc. etc.
Thank you for that Roving, it brightened my day!
