Many years ago , I drove to Upper Heyford to see the Tiger Meet aircraft . To say it rained was an understatement . On my way home water got into the car electrics and it had to be abandoned with smoke coming from under the dashboard - so much for soft tops ! Anyway , I had planned to go to Bentwaters show the following day with a friend so that we could see the Blue Angels F4s . He saw what I had logged at UH so we went there first in his car and saw the Thunder Birds F4s perform . Then a dash to Bentwaters - not much in the way of decent roads at that time . We arrived just in time to see the BAs perform . You tend to forget just how big a Phantom is when they are displaying . I would add that in those days these shows were free so thank you Uncle Sam !
