Barrows

For the youngsters amongst you I believe that The Barrows flew their first practice on the 24th March 1979. We then flew 4 further shows on the 18th, 22nd, 26th and 27th April. I think that HCS and HTS provided 2 crews but I don't know about the rest. On the practice I was RHS to OC HCS, formerly my Co-p in Changi and the future Station Commander Lyneham. (Where did I go wrong...answers on a post card to...) Three of the flights involved a flypast at a passing out parade somewhere, the Freedom of the City of Swindon and the visit of HRH Princess Anne on her annual visit to Lyneham as the Commodore? of the station. I don't recall seeing them after that
