Can anyone recognise themselves in this one?
Pretty sure I am in the shot - remember it well and have at least one landing shot - stood to the right of the chap in the white hat who is immediately below the main gear of the SR in shot two (I'm in a blue top)

Yes best IAT ever, even more so for me as I was an official litter Picker (part of the Scouts) so we had special access passes & were able to get to place's where joe public couldn't. Including the cockpit of a phantom whilst being prepped for departure (Defo pre Health & Safety days)
