Have I mentioned how awesome the day was yet?
Private coach onto Akrotiri, watched a U2 being prepared then taking off.
They had a Hercules that was dropping parachutists all day.
On the apron was a C130, a VC10, a Tornado and in the background a rather decrepit F4 Phantom.
We were invited to the briefing for the Red Arrows performance – it was amazing how much they seemed to make up as they went along. Then we were bussed to the ‘mole’ at Akrotiri to watch a private show.
After the show we were bussed back to the airport to watch them land and had a group photo taken with the pilots (to follow).
A big thanks to all the British Tax Payers out there…
