Oh the memories! The morning that the Gloster N.F's. took off from RAF Odiham and, a few hours later, the Javelins joined the circuit in their place. (If I recall correctly, there were a number of touch and goes that first time).

That noise, never to be forgotten

Very interesting to see some of the aircraft that I worked on at Middleton St. George during 1958 and 1959. The Javelins of 33 Sqdn. and the Hunters of 92 Squadron kept me busy.

Brings back fond memories of my time on 23 Sqdn, first at Coltishall, then at Leuchars after our move in 1963. FAW Mk 9Rs. As a 'Sooty', a bit difficult to work on but, as a youngster, good fun!
