Slightly off thread but I recall being at RAF Stafford in I think 1968 sitting my entrance exams and having a grandstand view of the static display Javelin. I could almost touch the thing from my second floor room. After a sleepless night stressing over the impending tests I looked out to see the the Javelin in sillouette against the autumn sunrise. Never forget that. A reminder if needed, as to why I was there.
