That must have been an extremely interesting period in your career.

The neares I got to the RAF was my 10 week initial training course for Northumbria Police at RAF Dishforth. At the time the runway was covered for landings so jets would 'hot wheel' it....touch down for a few seconds and take off without dropping their speed.
