Still on the subject of Linton-on-Ouse, can anyone with any clarity recall this event?On 28 October 1982, No.1 FTS celebrated 25 years of operational flying at Linton-on-Ouse with a series of commemorative flypasts. Twenty-four Jet Provosts led by the CI, Wg Cdr Ed Jarron, Sqn Ldrs Bill Langworthy and Al Watson, overflew the airfield in a formation that spelled the Station’s identification letters ‘L O 1’. This was followed by a display of various aircraft operated by school, including a Chipmunk, a Vampire T Mk.11, and three different marks of Jet Provosts.
Despite being an historical event for both the station and the Jet Provost, it would appear that the event has passed into obscurity?
