Thanks for the post
Brings back memories visiting Needham Market sitting eating sarnies at lunchbreak on the North west perimeter road of the field in the early 90s before the F4s went
Got more than i bargained for one day after what i believe was a turbine exploded as it lifted off showering bits of the on base golf course and runway with various ejected burning remnants and burning fuel as it climbed into the low cloud base still streaming burning fuel. Lots of bemused players as the base fire trucks rolled into action. Seemed an age before the F4 came back around the circuit out of the clouds and made an emergency landing from the East on the badly running second engine into the arrestor. I swear the crew out in under 5 seconds of stopping
Never made the local news though
These days it would have been on youtube in seconds
