I had the good fortune to attend Air Training Corps annual camp at Colerne in 1973. I was able to get myself attached to the control tower for most of the camp. I recall a few C130s visiting during the week, one of which I was able to get on board while (IIRC) a Bloodhound missile was loaded. I was in the C130 cockpit at the time. Happy days!! A Concorde flew low over the airfield one day, on its way back to Fairford, I imagine.
