Being at Patrington when we won the Ingpen Trophy.
Lofty Wetheral when he was a FS
Paddy Gaw when he was a Sgt.
Mullards!! (You have to be GD(FC) for that one!)
Being the last CC (Before this new FA stuff) at Buchan down the old bunker before closing it down and handing over to the "new" BIF upstairs. I unscrewed the old ROTA plan site nameplate off the wall, and still have it in my loft.
Sitting beside Bob Livingstone in Cabin 3 at Patrington when the Lightning chasing the Shac intruder went into the sea in a storm off Staxton Wold (Not all memories are happy). When they recovered it the cockpit hood was raised, and the pilot had unstrapped and got out, but wasn't ever found. How spooky was that!!
Remembering ORAC when he was a Plt Off and I was a Flt Lt even then!!(God I'm old)
Throwing in a "quick 90" on the recovery to Point Alpha with a 15 mile split for 5 Sqn Ltg's
