I remember as a CCF cadet in the mid 60s visiting West Raynham to see the tripartite squadrom of Kestrels. I didn't realise then, I'd spend a good part of my RAF engineering career with the aircraft. I have a Pegasus LP1 blade on my bookshelf, courtesy of John Bryant and his team at Bristol, and when I look at it, I can still hear the sound of a Harrier touching down on a vertical landing, and feel the vibrations when standing next to a tie down pad in the field.
