Harrier at RAF West Raynham
In 1969 I was riding my scooter home from work and I came upon a sight that I had never seen before. An aircraft was hovering above a cabbage field and suddenly went "up and away". I was so shocked that I fell off into the bushes!
Many years passed then, now living in South Wales, I attended an outside exhibition (can't remember exactly what it was) about 4/5 years ago and there, in the static display was a Harrier. I went up and spoke to the man in flying suit and related my story.
He looked at me and smiled. It was me piloting that he said. He knew the cabbage field well. He told me that in 1969 that Harrier was the only one they had received and when in 1970 they received more, I was married and living in South Wales.
Can anyone tell me more please. I wish I had asked his name.
