I did the "Vis Bombing" course there in early 65, and I was on the lead ship in a stream of Varsities from Lindholme on a night sortie to the Jurby target. I managed to knock out the light on the target pontoon with my second 25lb smoke and flash bomb which was a pure fluke. Anyway nobody else got to drop a bomb so we all had to trudge back to base and I had to buy lots of beer in the Salutation in Donny. It all got a bit indistinct after that because everybody bought me one back to celebrate the "early stack". We ended up in a club somewhere in Sprotborough so I must have narrowly missed catching something.
