Terrible day for photos

Not sure what went wrong. I was at the 75th do at Marham. I suspect these pics were taken in the build up. Had lunch in a hangar. probably the same hangar I had worked on Victors in. The only photo I have is a distant shot of a 146. they were pretty new in those days.

So what about this Cilit bang stuff- does it do what it says on the tin?

One of my old bosses was a crew cheif on Lord Louis Hastings in the Far East. he told me they had to polish it by hand. so much so that the heads of the rivets were worn away and had to be replaced on a regular basis.

I wonder if we should go back to those days to create jobs for airman. I think the pilots should polish their own jets. particularly the transport guys. that would shut them up from moaning on here about everything!
