It was twenty years ago…

Ken Wallis and little Nellie at Old Warden, Summer 1986. Note Ken’s Roller, and the ‘old’ Warden ‘tower’ which certainly had come off the back of a lorry, and is now at Breighton…

Not digital technology or quality, but you can almost hear the blades scythe past…

I’ve only seen Ken Wallis once, and that was with little Nellie at UEA Norwich during an event that the local RAF stations ran for an ITV Telephon in 1988. I was on security dutys on the VIP gate when Ken turns up in the Roller, towing LN behind. Guy with me (Not being a Bond fan and only joined the RAF for a job) asked If we should check his ID. Needless to say, my reply was ‘NOPE’.
