Gosh.
It only seems like yesterday that I spent a while living under the circuit of lumbering Varsities, incessantly plodding around and, once, getting an AEF on one for a flight out to Ely, round the cathedral and back to Oakington.
Was it really that long ago?
You are getting very very old now Andy….catching me up soon !!!

They’re not digging up the airfield just yet then? I remember landing there a few years back, wondering if those round patches on the R/W were filled in holes or heaps of gravel 😉
