It was indeed, Redders!
When I think of the number of people, aerodromes and aeroplanes we had back in 1969 - and yet the 'old sweats' were telling us that we'd missed the Golden Age of the mid-1950s.....
And look at today......
So much has gone forever - virtually every corner of the RAF has been devastated beyond Hitler and Goerings' wildest dreams. I was on an RAF base today for a short while - one of the biggest still standing. Utterly squalid - and I saw all of 1 person in blues. The rest were civvies apart from a couple of folk in cabbage kit.
I wonder whether Trenchard has hit the RPM governor in his grave yet....
I think I'd better shut up now.......
