7 Squadron at St Mawgan in the 1970s was equipped with Canberra TT18s tasked with target towing. They frequently gave passenger rides and often flew fish runs to Machrihanish. They had leather shoulder bags for purchase of the type common in Cyprus, embossed with a Gold Canberra and the motif ‘Sevenair’. They offered to fly a WRAF home one weekend and were astonished when she turned up in ops wearing a maxi skirt and knee-length boots.
