On the 15th. May 1968 I was detailed to take the AOC 19Gp from St Mawgan to Manston for his inspection of 22Sqdn Det at Manston
It must have been one of the few good days as I remember we sat on the grass under the wing having a picnic lunch with the in flight rations !
Suddenly the air was filled with the sound of Merlins and into the circuit came the 109's for a stream landing followed by the two Heinkel's and the B25. They had arrived from Jersey for customs clearance before departing for Duxford via the White Cliffs for some air to air shots. Still have the b/w pics.
