bomb racks

During my time on 105 (flying boat Squadron !) when Radfan was on we didn't fit the bomb racks in anger but did drop leaflets advising of raids up country, we were accompanied by the Twin Pins of 78 with the loudspeakers under the sponsons (anyone remember the Sunday morning tests !) to warn of the upcoming raids, was good to start with breaking open the bundles & scattering the leaflets far & wide just like confetti, then dissent took over & we just threw them out the back and out of the side doors in bundles, oh what fun we had, then waited for the Shacks Hunters and Bucaneers to come and play with their guns and rockets, life was never dull, PH.
