Loved it. Grew up in Lincolnshire, loads of RAF bases there and the USAF were still around too.
Regularly got Tornadoes, Harriers, Jaguars, F15s AWACS etc over the house, very, very low on occasion. A special treat was to go to the bombing range at Wainfleet and watch (and listen!) to the A10s
As a 6yr old I could tell from the noise if it was a Harrier coming or not, couldn’t really tell the others apart, guess something to do with it’s engine nozzles makes it sound different?
Since the cold war ended we just don’t get the same number of aircraft flying about, shame.
Remember the wall coming down, I was 8, they made a lot of fuss about it on the telly but I didn’t really get the significance then. Would much rather have watched Inspector Gadget than the news…
