Talking Ah!! The good old days

Couldn't resisit a quick post on this on a lazy Friday afternoon in the office. It certainly brought back memories of the early 70s when I was at Coningsby spending most of my time ripping the radar apart for yet another case of 'wine glass birdies in PD'. (You had to be there).
In at 0530 to tow them out for the days flying - no question of noise abatement in those days. Burners in and a vertical climb over the quarters patch!! We were up, so why shouldn't everyone else be?
As someone said earlier, a pain in the proverbial to work on (I did insty and comms work as well), but it certainly taught me a lot.
Ah well!! Back to the in-tray!!!!
