Blast from the past for me here - but as a cadet spent a couple of days at Wittering many moons ago with a Canberra ground crew - they were very good to me, allowed me to taxi one of them (obviously they had full control in case I hit the wrong button but boy did I have fun!) - had a PAX flight on a Puma too - pilot was up for a bit of fun before the days low flying was banned so we spent most of the hour long flight popping up and over hedges in Central England, was able to hear the radio comms when he finally popped up to a couple of thousand feet near Coventry - atc went ballistic at him, demanding to know where he'd popped up from!

Will always remember those two and as a result, will always have maximum respect for the forces.
