Whilst the demise of SHAR is sad, I think what is equally disappointing is that Fightertown Somerset, will no longer reverberate to the sounds of the Pegasus among others.The station has been home to Sea Venoms, Phantoms, Hunters, Canberras and Hawks. Yes the Hawk will still be there at the end of march and the station will still be busy with Lynx and JHC assets but, with the basing of JCA in Scotland, a proud history of Air Defence will come to an end, probably forever.A memory forever imprinted in my mind was in 1994 when Yeovilton played host to over 90 jets including Tornado, F14, F18, Mig23 and 29. A fitting tribute to a fine "fast jet" station.
