104 at Wildenrath

Sharpend, re the 104 guess can confirm, I was stood on 60 Sqd pan when said 104 did its "fly by" down the runway, after young lad had banged out & landed I remember it took some time to catch him as he was running round the field just past the threshold shouting "Martin Baker, Martin Baker" at the top of his lungs, high as a kite on adrenaline, first man on the scene was Wg Cmdr Barnicote who had bundled him in the back of his Ferrari (330GTC 4 seater) to take him to SHQ, I for my sins of being quickly on the scene was to get lumbered for crash guard, said 104 had gone through barrier, through threshold fence, approach lights, over the road into a field, this down the Peterscholz end of the airfield, anyone any piccies ?, PH.
