Danny, I don't specifically remember any 20 Sqn chaps but was of course aware of the unit being on the station and thought its pilots mainly consisted of disgruntled middle european hairies. Later when serving on a Hunter wing in 2TAF I was able to refer to one of the other squadrons as a "target facitities mob" for the gunners. In those days I could run a lot faster than now, discretion being the better part of valour, but now frequently take ale with old 124 Wing mates as we continue to mull over the good times on 14, 20 and 26 Squadrons along with 79 Swift FR mud movers.
