I'm not, and never was anything to do with Phantoms but please excuse this interruption.
Were any of you lot amonsgt the Phantom chaps who used to fly over my house in Watton, near Eastern Radar, in the early 70s? The memsahib used to be attempting to put the first born to bed after his 9pm feed when one of your aircraft would wander in from the north east-ish, go over the Thetford battle area and drop some flashes which would go off with quite a bang. I believe there were supposed to be 6 but the odd occasion only 5 would go bang and leave the poor missus holding her breath waiting for the last one.
I of course would have been in the pub at Griston on the far side of the disused airfield watching you.
