Me too! I had no idea in those days that I would work on that very airframe at the twilight of her operational life. Neither did I know that several other types at that show would also feature in my career, namely Tristar, Alpha Jet and Tornado.

Ah, the VAAC Harrier! I remember seeing her at Cranfield on her conversion, little did I know I'd be working on her later in life...

I've never been to this show before and I am available on Sunday. Can anyone recommend a good watching/photo spot?
