Oh yes, 1985 I believe... I remember seeing marquee roofs billowing about, but the funniest sight was the Victor nav who was so surprised he tipped his strawberries and cream into his own lap. Made a bit of a mess of his flying suit, looked like he had spent too long watching the dancers at the aircrew beer tent!

I think that was the weekend the RAF medical team handed out more than 4000 Brufen to visiting aircrew. It was BYO the next year.
