50 years.......scary thought........only seems like yesterday that it was a sunny spring day and I was a 6 year old kid playing with the younger lad from next door on the open grassed area in front of our homes, about 2 miles south-east of RAF Northolt, when this almighty loud noise came from behind, and I looked up to see a Harrier streaking fast and very low over our heads heading north-west towards RAF Northolt. I can remember standing there thinking......oh wow, and hoping it would come back, as the young lad from next door ran screaming into his Mum
