Tony was also the Public relations officer at Binbrook.
I knew him quite well from various
PR visits to cover Lightning activities.
One very memorable visit was a private one for myself only.
Spent a whole day by the runway "Caravan" during a very active exercise, with perfect weather.
One Wing Commander question the Caravan bod as to who I was and what was I doing with a camera at that location.
He replied I was a guest of Tony Paxton, so no problem for me to carry on.
The resulting Pics. of close "line up to go", and "flair out landing" pics. were the best I ever took of lightning actions.
A really amazing day, never to be repeated.
