I was at said stn circa 1987 when a hawk pilot left the ac on takeoff. Said aircraft did a solo circuit and parked itself in the thatched roof of a very nice cottage in a village, name escapes me, close to the stn.
I presume the history will include the glorious pre F3 days of C Flight 25 Sqn Bloodhound also housed at Wattisham? Great base, good times.
