Milltown escapade
Your spot on dotticom
I worked in the hydraulic bay in the same hangar as VASF in those days.
The damaged F5 sat nearby for several days. I remember seeing a huge gash ripped out of the underside of one of them. Lucky pilot !
Rumour has it he took out several ten feet high concrete poles and wire link fencing that ran down the centre line of the disused runway at Miltown. Whilst his pairs buddy started his go around manoeuvre a little higher and was undamaged.
Fantastic place to work in the late seventies with all the Jags, shacks, hunters, buccaneers and sea kings.
