Danny:
I was at Valley on the Vampire T11 in 1961. I was sent off on a solo sortie one day and was briefed to finish up with a flapless landing. Most of the time the runway in use was 20 but right at the end they swapped to 26 (the short runway). Like the idiot student that I was I landed fast with no flaps and realised, rather late in the day, that the sea was approaching rapidly. I got away with it (just) and I never made that mistake again.
