    Hi,

    I was posted to Finningley in 1973 or maybe it was ’74. I’m sure it was ’73 though. Did you get any photos in either year?

    I was guarding a Lightning.

    Rather shamefully, the evening before, I accidentally spilled plastic polish on the wing of the ME 262 (polishing the canopy). I wanted to clean it up, and said so, but there wasn’t enough time and the NCO IC wanted his tea!

    The nightmare haunts me to this day. 🙁

    Sorry for delay…..I’m waiting for a decent scanner then I can post some old pix (I’ve got boxes of em….maybe youre in there somewhere)

    I went to every one from 1964 onwards…..the smell of jet fuel and newly cut grass….sigh…..Septembers arent the same..
    Nice pix …..the Varsity crashed in 1984 didn’t it,killing the editor of Flypast magazine ?
