BomberH,
I'm pretty sure it was THE Bay Bridge.
The San Mateo Bridge is too far south and the Golden Gate Bridge is further west for t/o problems from the former Alameda NAS.
Cheers,
f

PS Who were you attached to?, as a friend of mine was in the Reserves, a Nav. on A3's based there.

Raincheck only just seen your post no 59 about T*** D***** - sad news indeed.

I've already been to 3 mates' funerals this year and it's only bl%%dy February.....

I guess it happens at this time of life.

Ray Hanna and close proximity to hard bits.

I realise its not under a bridge but if you want to see Ray Hanna at his best watch the CD of the first Goodwood Revival meeting when Lord March came onto the Start/Finish straight in the course opening car at about 40 mph to be greeted by Ray coming the other way down the Start/Finish straight between the grandstands at about 20 feet and 250 mph! I believe the CAA said very naughty, don't do it again, ( lovely bit of flying ). Just found a home video on You Tube at Ray Hanna Spitfire Low Pass Goodwood 1998.
