Hmmm, last time I did that was at 2ANS Gaydon in 1967, also off a cable launch... talk about Tempus Fugit! 👍

Enjoyed that. Brought back memories of officer training in 1974/5.

21GE for me. Won the Battle of Britain aerobatics trophy 1975. I wonder whether it's still a sexual desert! 😂

Any paranormal stuff around Cranwell? I had a spooky experience when cycling down the main road gone midnight some years ago.

I don't know but back in 1953, before they straightened the road I witnessed a car jumping a ditch and ending up on its side at Byard's Leap, right alongside Cranwell :)

There's no such thing as ghosts."Ghost stories," are exactly that, stories made up by sad people to try and impress others.

Is that off a winch launch? Funny thing is, I drove past there on the main road that day! 😀

Yes, winch launched.

I learnt to glide at Swanton Morley in 1962. ...with my school RAF section. I think that's very near Cranwell??

@Captureasecond 24 күн бұрын

Swanson Morley is in Norfolk. Cranwell is in Lincolnshire.

@philshaw439 > Glider = Clickbait Why does flying and landing a glider make a video titled "_Flying low over the College Hall Officers’ Mess at RAF Cranwell to land_" clickbait? Please explain. And feel free to remain logical and reasoned at all times.
