Amazing that I was there at the same time Alan! A friend of my dad had a small 4 berth yacht and we used to drop anchor off Thorney Island when there was a bit of activity. I'm coming to my niece's birthday party on Sat 14th. If you're well enough, perhaps I could bring Arthur across for a quick coffee'n'cake? Not mentioned to Arthur yet...My God Mike the memories came flooding back. Think I've still got photos of the Beverley's and Argosy's (the flying tit) when I was there in '67 with the ATC. Yes the road did cross the runway and had traffic lights operated by the control tower.I remember the runway closed when a Beverley dropped a crate of sand on training exercise and the chutes didn't deploy. Last time I was there the married quarters were being used to house Vietnamese boat people. The cemetry is a very moving place. I'm stopping the lamp swinging now and putting away the tin hat and ammo box. Back to things Landy.
