Talking

These guys had the RIGHT PLACE!

Remember when I was at Eastern Radar one summer weekend we were fairly quiet and persuaded two F-4s from Spangdahlem to do a low flyby over Watton. The controller talked them in as accurately as he could on the Type 82, signed off to go out on the roof. They found us very well but then decided to give us an impromptu display as well as a fly by. We were most impressed - the locals were not - anyone that knows sleepy Watton will appreciate the effect two F4s in tight formation steaming down the high street at 100 feet had on the population!

Wrists slapped but fun to watch!
