Jav 9 (11 Sqn ) circa 1964/65 approaching over sea. Some sort of emergency that required the ventrals to be jettisoned. Also went (by accident) were the dummy Firestreaks. One went over the Eden estuary and bedded in on one of the famous fairways at St Andrews. As it was "student" rag week, everyone thought student stunt, until Leuchars arrived to ask for the missile back !!
If my memory serves, nice picture in the St Andrew's Courier. Happy days , two of my kids born there.
