How un-sporting of them to wake you up like that, as if you were doing any harm!
As for being sunburnt, I can’t remember the last time I was sunburnt in May!
Always seem to remember the Air fetes being scorchers especially during late 80’s early 90’s.
The main reason why I posed the original question is because I used to go with a pal back in the late 90’s & can’t remember the year, but I swear, that it was another scorching morning, the Cavalier engine was close to over heating (yes in the morning) in the queue & I’m sure I remember an SR-71 flying over & going in to land. This definitely was the 90’s.
Black Night, I am unsure about a lot of things, but the very last show at Mildenhall was in 2001, that i do know. A C17 flew there for the first time I believe, a B.1 & B.52 were flying as well as a Gripen display. Only my memory is a bit foxed as to the SR-71
I did cycle from Sudbury to Mildenhall in 86 to see the Blackbird then. Some things stay in your memory & some things go hazy, but I do remember the commentator saying if they activated full re-heat during that west to east pass, the aircraft would have taken roughly 4 minutes to reach the Dutch coast. And also remember the Oxygene soundtrack.
