Had an email from Al Pollock this morning so he is still around, though not too well.
I was prompted to look in my logbook to confirm my memory of the fiftieth anniversary, 01/04/1968, when the Chivenor Wing flew a formation of 32 Hunters and four Meteors plus a couple of airborne spares over Plymouth, Exeter and Barnstaple. ( I flew one of the Meteors on that occasion, there being very few current Meteor pilots there then) Happy days !
Did any other unit celebrate?
I guess the RAF would be pushed to get that number of aircraft in the sky together now and would find it difficult to get anyone to authorise the trip.
