It sure has, I was Air Traffic/Ops. Went back to Wilders a couple of years back, there isnt much left. Its a train testing establishment now and the tracks go right through where my old block was. Stood on what was left of the runway with my teenage daughter and felt old. And not a little nostalgic. Still remember the happy days of APC in Cyprus and the nights in "Crazy Parrots" though. Great jet and great crews, they were good times.
Hard to believe it is almost twenty years since I walked out of the gates at Wilders with the mighty toom gone .. great vid. And days before the mandatory "yellow vest" for the liney's !!
@BillyTheFlid1 I was a stacker at WTM, yeah 20 years has flown past ain't it mate? That's Flt Lt Bill Preece with the ice cream, known to all as "Fugly", he's now a Wing Commander!
