    and once a year Radiohams have a festival ther
    a friend of mine an ex RAF chappie
    who now was a gliding club member
    said .we willl call at the Gliding club
    and seemy friends(he was a radio ham)
    the weather was ,gettin duler all the time
    and Scampton was the residence of the RED ARRROWS

    so of we goes.with the weather worsening all the time
    we gets on Drome at Scampton
    and there,was these big American Fuel tanker planes
    massive they were
    my friend takes me to the glinding club
    they have an old bus
    as a control centre and a plce for a cppa

    after a few minutes, it is now raining
    the Red Arrrows are landing
    what a soght one after the other you could see thier lights refelcting on the wet runway

    BUT,out side like kids were these Yanks
    with thier cameras
