Parade standing at ease on a warm, calm morning, in absolute silence as the Comm Flight Anson (bearing His Airship) touched down.
We had the same thing at Honington except that the AOC came from HQ 3 Group at Mildenhall, some 10 miles in a straight line. He considered that the only way to arrive at a station was down the centre line. To this end he would be chaffeured from his office to a 3 group Comms Anson in his staff Jaguar Mk3. Once the door was closed and the engines started the Jaguar would go into Monte Carlo Rallye mode and hurl down the lanes of Suffolk to be at Honington when th AOC arrived.
