Nose wheel thingy
Bill Freeman had a severe case of the nose wheel thingy at Aldergrove in about 76 finishing up on the grass with the nose wheel sticking up into the cockpit.
I was the Canberra TP for the same unit, 23 MU, and saw the take off.
I don't think there ever was an explanation
There was an RAF advert running in the press at the time with a phantom and the word "Peacekeeper" The helo pilots changed it to "peacekeepoffdegrass" and put it on the mess notice board
Bill saw the funny side of it
