1976 or was it ’75? Heaven in Devon – one of the numerous closing down parties:. .Arrows equipped with Gnats then leaving late Saturday morning after a most memorable Happy Hour(s) the previous night. Watchers all lined up on the croquet pitch in front of the mess. One of the watchers was an ex-Red who was spotted by one of the departing team and his position noted. Arrows take off in their usual fashion and promptly split up to “do” the airfield from 9 separate points of the compass. Ex-Red watcher threw himself to the ground to avoid being spiked on his buddy’s pitot boom; buddy had to do immediate sharp pull up to avoid concrete street light (about 20ft high) outside the mess. What a departure!. . <img src="eek.gif" border="0"> <img src="eek.gif" border="0"> <img src="eek.gif" border="0">
