Cold wars jets on a cold winter night
Just incase anyone is interested, I was invited to a photoshoot at Newark Air Museum... if it brings back memories for anyone, job done!
Thanks to the Air training Corps cadets who took the time to be in the photographs.

Worse was cockpit readiness at o'dark hundred. Often we would sit in the cold, frozen aircraft, having woken from a deep sleep, with no real idea of the time.

After 30 minutes or so we were advanced to 02 and the kit just started to come alive.
