I recall going from the New Forest where I lived, with my Air Training Corps pals to RAF Coltishall in Norfolk where Lightnings were training for Farnborough, must have been about 1962. What a noise! Unfortunately I contracted severe tonsilitis and was sent to the sick bay on arrival where a delightful young WAAF nurse looked after me for most of the week. I still had one of her garters until a few years ago !!
