I beg to differ.

AOC's had been earlier in the year and I was 'nominated' for the Guard of Honour.

I don't recall the flypast in my photos including Manby although the JPs took-off and landed there.

The formation was scheduled for mid-morning but that was delayed until lunchtime due to weather.

The routing was to include Coningsby, Cranwell, Waddington, Scampton and Binbrook. All the stations were overflown with the exception of Binbrook because that was still socked-in.

My memory is that the Varsitys left Strubby shortly after and the Dominies operated from Manby.

I don't recall any Canberras at Manby/Strubby during my time there from Sep 70/Sep 72.
