I remember doing my 1st ever 'Duty Fitter' at Lindholme, BoB Open Day 1954.

I had passed out of Boy's service still under 17 and 1/2, but I reached that age on BoB day and became an LAC and everyone else in ARSF made sure I was on my 1st weekend duty as soon as it was possible.

A busy day, but immensely enjoyable. The only time I saw a Sunderland do a low pass. I never saw another one in the air.
