I grew up in the late 70s, early 80 in East Anglia. It was the height of the cold war and RAF and USAF aircraft were always above head. My story goes from a childhood of being taken to watch Phantoms (sitting on the roof of the car) to a job at the RAF Museum, meeting an ex Phantom navigator and getting the chance to sit in my favourite aircraft.

Fumes, fun and fast!
