My granddad and I were once moved on from the end of the runway at Waddington by the RAF Police, I think a 70 year-old man and his 5 year-old grandson were doing some heavy duty Soviet spying work.<br />The Vulcans' final approach to Bright Ambassadorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14123057194595392156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318669.post-32083038407548295242010-09-03T08:36:48.658+00:002010-09-03T08:36:48.658+00:00Cheers both.
