Saw them doing a display at South Cerney in 1965, their first full season. When I lived near Kemble in 1969 I saw them practising there several times. Gnats then of course
Just like the story that when performing at the Leuchars air show, they had to be put up in the Old Course Hotel, not the Mess with everyone else?
When several tanker crews were detached to Leuchars on a Dragonfly once, and the mess was full, they stuck us up in a dormitory in the attic. Don't remember being offered the Old Course Hotel as an option!
