One of my wife's uncles was shot down in a Lanc over the Zuider Zee - he didn't survive. Mildenhall was just down the road from my mum's place - we used to pop in from time to time. I did an apprentice engineer course with the National Gas Turbine Establishment, next door to Farnborough and our hostel was by one of the gates to RAE - we always went to the air show there - fabulous, especially when the Lightning stood on its tail and went vertically supersonic! Mind you nothing was as breathtaking as 9 Scimitars taking off in diamond formation, the noise was incredible!
