Liking all the Phantom snaps so a few more of my oldies for you. One of my favourite RAF memories came in 1977 on detachment with 100 sqdn in Deci as a ground trade mere stores LAC lad of 18. Got a Canberra flight with a nice crew of F/L Roberts & F/O Broadway on a camera target towing sortie ( weren't allowed to shoot at us on those of course ). Spent half an hour hearing the 92 sqdn boys whizzing past and seeing bugger all out of my limited vision windows. My pilot then calls up the Phantom guys who proceed to line up 6 a/c on our left, awesome and much appreciated( wish I'd had my camera). They then put on the burners and disappear viewed out my top window one at a time, a sight I will never forget.
If any of you out there were up that sunny afternoon with 92 Nov30 cheers for the cherished memory.
Never have stopped being proud to be part of the best Air Force this world will ever see and I'm sure the Navy & Army guys feel the same about their service. Happy days
