How about as of summer of 1974.......
When Fg Off BEagle had just finished the Wings course. Yes, the RAF looked pretty impressive then, but the old timers still talked about the pre-Sandys era.

Then came the cuts........which have never stopped.

But we did still have over 30 stations more than today - in the UK alone...
