As I was a real cabbage back in the days I was always angling for the dets out to Otterburn.
And of course being RAF we were on Rate 1's, unlike the PBI that had to put up tents in the field behind the pub.
Especially when they drop a practice bomb on the range control caravan when cleared in hot !! Fortunately, on this occasion, his aim was out by about 20 metres
I often wondered what would happen to the pilot after a slight misjudgement like that ??
