As a Craft Apprentice (214 Entry) at RAF Halton. I, like many of our entry enjoyed being given the "nod and wink" that we could break "lights out" and watch TV coverage of Apollo 11 in our TV room in Kestrel Flight, 2 Wing. On the night of the landing, I did my first "all nighter" and surprisingly, no beer, just a feeling that I was witnessing history, even through a TV set. Blimey Coff, was it really that long ago, how we have regressed since then, we can't even manage a supersonic airliner these days.
