The reason I would have joined up...
1978 was the year I went to Edinburgh Uni, and applied for the University Air Squadron. Would have loved to have flown Buccaneers, Phantoms or LIghtnings (have a vivid memory of combined 23sqdn & 43 sqdn flypast at Leuchars in early 70s).
However, my eyesight let me down. Interesting to see one of the crew with glasses.
Thanks for the reminder!
