BoB Day, St Athan, early sixties. Great flying display planned and weather kind but cool. But enough of that - the Welsh hordes were to arrive from the valleys with their families and everyone knew that the ladies would not be interested in aeroplanes! So the cunning plan was to cream them off into the station cinema for BINGO and considerably enhance the RAFBF funds, leaving dads and kids to carry on to the flightline. What could go wrong? Well, the fact that only about six stalwarts actually paid their entrance fee is what. And worse, they stayed all afternoon boring the pants off the volunteer "caller". But serve him right as it was his brilliant idea.
