Tch Tch, do none of you youngsters remember "High Flight"? It was all about Cranwell in the late 50's and how the heroes eventually progressed to a Hunter Squadron in Germany. Memorable shots included a Vampire 5 taxying out for take off, being recalled because of weather getting bad but the hero pulling out his pig-tail and getting airborne anyway...in a Vampire T11.
I went to watch it with a bunch of mates from 2FTS at Syerston. We all agreed that we had made the right choice in avoiding "The college" and joining the Service "the working class way".
