A few months later, we were suddenly turfed out of lessons and herded up the hill for what we presume was a pre-season practice session. Glorious.
If anyone up there on the day (or perhaps I should say "down there" on the day) is out there - thank you. You made 325 young men and women very happy - a rather deaf !
<grin>
As I recall, that was their first season in the Hawk, and we were basically one of the first groups (maybe the first group?) of civilians to see them.
And as a direct result of that display, here I am 29 years later with half a life time spent in aviation.
