I remember a wonderful day outside the wire at St. Mawgan, camera and notebook in hand, in about 1991 or 1992. In attendance were nine Canberra T.17s, a similar number of Phantoms from 74 Sqdn (seven of which departed in a superb stream take off), and about half a dozen Tornados from the German Navy. Supporting the Germans were a pair of Transalls and, best of all, a former NVA Tu-154.
As a young plane spotter it was a day in paradise.
