Pete,
Iron Maiden, Greatest band on the planet. First saw them in 1986 when i was 18 and have been following them since i was about 14! (was a bit of a greatest hits concert, think this was the 10th time of seen them).
The lights went down, Churchill boomed out his “we shall fight them on the beaches……” speech and they opened with Aces High!!!! Bit of Bruces interest in aircraft coming through (and the video played on the huge screens, the video has Spitfires, 109’s and Me110’s in).
Sat at back of Twickenham so not the best view or venue ive ever been too, i would have rather been down the front but as my partner is only 5′ tall she can never see anything if we do!
Am now shattered as as was at Waddington Friday, drove down to Twickenham Sat, stuck in car park for nearly 2 hours after gig, got back to room at 01.30 and was back at Waddington at 08.45hrs Sunday morning!!
Was it worth it???????? Of course it was!!!! Shame i missed XH558 though. The mag should interview Bruce been as he is also a pilot, met him last year down at Southend last year when he took a trip in the Vulcan down there. Up the Irons!!!!!!!
