I'm not an Avro lad, but I've lived in Cheshire for most of my life and know Woodford well. I remember the Woodford shows in the late 60s and early 70s. I wasn't a pilot back then, so perhaps didn't appreciate some of that 748 and Andover single-engine spirited display flying that went on. Knowing what I know now, that was some display of skill.
I remember the Victors parked all over the airfield, and Vulcans doing circuits.
At the start of the Falklands war we'd just moved to a house about 5 miles out on the SW centreline of Woodford's runway. The Vulcans (those still left in service) were flying in to have refuelling probes fitted, and if the wind was such that they approaced from the SW, boy did the house shake!
