Although I have been an avid reader of the threads on this Forum for a good 12 months or more I have never really had the desire to post. But this thread is just too good not to comment on!
I am not and never have been in the military, but I do have a great interest in all military aviation subjects and nothing but admiration for all those who have served in the forces in whatever role. This thread has brought to life just what it must have been like to be serving in the RAF in particular during the cold war.
The first airshow I ever attended was an At Home day at Finningley, 1981 I think. Part of the display involved a Vulcan 4 ship stream take off which was truly amazing, nothing in the next 20 odd years has ever come close to matching that.
