In about 1984, I had to do a job at Mildenhall and, as a courtesy 'tipped my hat' to OC RAF Mild...
Halfway through our little chat he was summoned next door to 'talk to the general'. Apparently, during an exercise the A10s from just down the road had selected a well placed house as their target and worked the place over during the exercise.
When I later commented that having a few low flying aircraft over the house was nothing to get too excited about, he agreed but then added: 'however, there were 36 of them'.
