Slight Tread drift.
I can vouch for that about big dogs and security.
I called in at "Kingman" Arizona during a photo tour in 1987, having seen lots of Tails etc from the highway.
Approached one compound where old BA 707s were being broken up.
Met with a bunch of guard dogs looking and baying for blood!!!!
The chap doing the cutting was worst, decided retreat was the best option.!!!
One good outcome though, went to the end complex where a solitary
Helicopter was parked.
I called on the chap in the office for permission to photograph said chopper.
Most helpful and friendly, had a great time chattting.
Turned out he was an ex USAF F86 pilot, with the honour of flying the last operational sortie by F86 aircraft in the Korean War.
With the extra twist that also on this sortie was Sqn. Ldr. Maitland of Biggin Hill fame.
As I was aquainted with Sqn. Ldr. Maitland through my covering Biggin Hill Air fairs wearing a press Hat he asked could I maybe help in getting them back in touch.
I did so in a very diplomatic way, so leaving any contact upto Sqn.Ldr. Maitland if he so desired.
Never did find out if they got back in touch.
OPF
