There I was, young aircraft mechanic on a mechanic's course at RAF Weeton(near Blackpool) middle of winter in 58. In those days we had to work Saturday mornings and one saturday in the month was CO Parade day . Now winter 58 was a little harsh in temperature, freezing every night. So a cunning plan was hatched, and on the Friday night before the said parade, copious amounts of water was deposited on the parade ground, making it a superb ice rink!! Parade cancelled, job done! Senior powers never clocked that the Friday night had been free of rain!!!
Way too go!!
