During my time on the C130K we used to have families days for all the squadrons and the various supporting wings at Lyneham. My late father in law had his one and only ever flight with us. We still have the framed autographed print. Usual route was down to the Severn bridges and back via Cheddar gorge. When my father in law flew we came back over the village where we lived so with the ramp and door open he had a very good view. If you read the Hercules thread you will come across the tale of the alleged 'Captain's friend' ! My brother was the squadron clerk on the Lightning training Flight at Middleton and got a trip in the T4. I may never forgive him. I worked on Javelins, Hunters and Lightnings and never came close. Do they still do Families Day flying ?
