We had a 10 day Taceval in Sept 76 at Marham which I'm pretty sure is a record, still can't work out if it meant we were good or bad at it! The best memories were the sim air attacks reds which normally meant running for cover of course. During one such raid two of us found ourselves guarding a site on the 'other' side of the airfield miles away from anyone so we hopped up one of those Victor tail serv platforms to get a good view and enjoy the beautiful summer sunshine ( 76 what a year). Two Belgium starfighters roared low over the station and past us very noisey , very close and at eye level , needless to say , scaring the crap out of us. I still use that as an excuse now when I can't hear what the wife says........
