Phlying the Phantom - A Day in the Life of a Phantom Pilot in the Cold War
Mike Bettell starts with an overview of the East West confrontation of the post-war period and covers the air threat to UK and our defences, including the SAMs and aircraft we deployed. It moves on to describe a day in the life of a pilot on a Phantom squadron the air defence (fighter) role, training for war.

Not sure if Mike a PRuNer.
I have been to several LSAB events over the past 20 or more years. Unfortunately Eric took a tumble and was unable to deliver our last lecture at the VSC. Fortunately I did not have to stand in this time as a more appropriate stand in was found. We do have a fellow PRuNer making an appearance this season but I will let him tell you about that.
