As a 13 year old in the early 70's, along with around 2000 other brats at St Johns School in Cyprus, used to watch Vulcans dropping bombs near (we always presumed they weren't suppose to hit) a target moored in Episkopi Bay.
Although it was far more interesting than double English, it did sod all for my ability to spell....But thanks for the entertainment anyway.
I have to say though, the annual firepower display was more impressive, with 1000lb bombs instead of the practice things! But even that was eclipsed by the demonstration of how to crash a harrier into Happy Valley, to much cheering from said 2000 brats........
