Binbrook

Ah, Good old Binbrook. Posted to DFCS, Hunter F6s in 65 and on to 5 Sqdn in 66. Often socked in with weather and everyone else open, or as happened in 67? during an excercise, we were the only one open on the East Coast. Never seen so many Lightnings in one place in my life and all wanting Op T/Rs. Brilliant day, the place was really humming.
Went back three years ago and it made you want to weep. What a mess.
Lots of truth in` never going back!!`
