In a way it feels like Coltishall's chapter of history is finally coming to an end as the jet goes. JS, I still remember spending a great deal of time sitting down with you after you'd just come back to the Force after being on the IPT, learning stuff for a presentation at the Purple Learning College. You and the guys have been treated very shabbily.

Will always remember as I got to the mid-point of my time at Colt when they got the Eng sorted out, having upwards of 30 jets on the line everyday. They'd all go within 30 minutes of each other and all come back together 90 minutes later. Made it even more fun when the Viggens and Hawks came over and we tried recovering about 40 jets in IFR in the space of 35 minutes. Good times.

I realise that it's a pain to get to, but are you planning on including us poor dejected rotary airfields on the tour? Particularly the southerly one!!!
