How many passes to get the alignment right, the light right and why the hell did Marlborough build his house facing north?

Damn. Hate it when people do that but don’t take me along for the ride!

Infrequent visitor but Brize Zone are a tad more amenable on Saturdays. Probably needed kinder background light and 600mm. There's always something.

Strawberries and Cream, close as.

Slim and me checking to see if anybody at home has noticed he's slipped out to fly with me.

My excuse for skipping Live Aid. Back when the Air Tattoo was awesome!

For me, an iconic, dark, brooding cover for Vol 1. Ozzy had a great run, and brilliant send off. As it turned out. RIP

Not what I was looking for but I'd forgotten this existed. Sep/Oct 1981. RAF St Mawgan. Nav phase of our JP5A course. Me, Chris (Tornado), Archie (F4/F3), Jules (Bucc/RIP), Frank (Harr/F4/ETPS).
