I remember as a 14 year old watching an F-4M do it's display at RNAS Culdrose and discovering in afterburner the Speys appeared to operate at my stomachs resonant frequency!
Memories of sitting on the end of Valley's runway while 74 sqn were on APC there. My brother quite selfishly spoiled the fun by letting his eardrum get perforated so we had to watch from a distance after that.
I remember the first few times I saw the Phantom at Atsugi Japan. I thought who in the heck designed that beast? Dihedryl anhedryl go figure. It did not take long while on the Vq's ramp to fall for the girls. When they cranked up and took off, it would send a chill up my spine. Today, this is still one of my all time favorites.
