Sabres
70 years ago today,Fighter Command received its first swept wing aircraft. Two Canadair Sabres, XD706 & XD720 landed at Linton on Ouse. 66sqn.took them on charge.We locals were treated to regular sonic bangs from 66 & 92 sqns. for the next couple years! Complaints spoiled the fun as usual, & the bangs were no more.
