Dear Nigel may have thought that he demonstrated a Wessex 5 at Farnborough in 1964 but actually the whole of 848NACS was there drinking for Britain and staying at an Army mess called the Red House. I wonder if it ever recovered? We all had Triumph Tina scooters, in a fetching shade of mauve, and I still bear the scars and lost all the pretty bits on the buttons on the front of my uniform as I skidded down the road face down.

Happy days - do you want to know more?

Don't mention Battle of Britain day at Biggin Hill shortly after.................Oh dear.................16 aircraft run in and break but who had forgotten his crossfeed cock and had a double fuel warning and left from the middle of the pack in an explosion of excitment brought on by incompetance!!
