That's interesting. I know FAA Phantoms cross decked with USN carriers, but I thought our carrier decks were too short for USN aircraft, or have I got that wrong?
It's hard to imagine a big old F4 landing on one of our ships but a little Corsair couldn't

Re: WAVE - When did it open?

Hey Paul, I'm good thanks, I'm not sure to be honest, lost contact when they left the WAVE, can't remember if they were ever on Facebook. But like you, I remember her being diagnosed with something and that's maybe why they gave it up. Maybe someone local like Graham (Thor) or Rick Sleight would know.

Re: WAVE - When did it open?

Haha Malc was abit marmite but Linda was (is) a lovely lady

Shame they had to give it up, it's certainly been a strange place for the past 20yrs with cliques, hangers-on and disabled security forces driving around the carpark threatening to have you removed if you use their rubbish bins!!
