Who has the cine film of XB259?
As a spotty teenager I used to hang around Paull airfield in the mid 70's hoping to save up the astronomical sum of 400 pounds for a PPL...
I was lucky enough to bum a lift in an Aztec (G-B*HJ) around 5pm on 30th Mar 1974 to meet the Beverley coming to become our new clubhouse! I remember that somone in the plane was filming, just before the pilot said "I won't be able to get much closer than this before we hit the......" and then everything was upside down for a while.
I couldn't believe it was going to get into our grass strip. Almost as much fun as someone's pal doing a touch and go in a Vulcan - rumour has it he lost his job for that one.
