I remember a pair of Lightnings giving Woodvale a beat up in '83 when I was there for AEF.Like nothing I've seen before or since.Utterly awesome.


I was on the staff at MASUAS at the time and I’m thinking that the late, great Ray Knowles was involved in the airfield beat up ?
. . the students ran a sweepstake as to how long it would take for the first phone call complaint to come in . . a mere matter of minutes !!

I was only there for the day for my 30 minutes in a Chippy so I don't know about Ray Knowles.But I've never forgotten that pair of Lightnings.They were magnificent.
