I luckily managed to avoid working on Lightnings (some of my fellow ex brat chums were not so lucky

A close second though must have been Harriers,when I was younger I used to relish engineering 'challenges' and quite enjoyed all those nice jobs on leaping heaps,however by the time wastospace closed down dunsfold I was definitely feeling older and when I started my final employment 'somewhere in wiltshire' I kept very quiet about my 11 years Harrier experience

I was lucky when I graduated from Halton - i was posted to Canberras - and they were a nice simple a/c (B2 + T4) to settle into Riggering.
