Barney or Ted will be in the ops room, planning the return flight to Inverness.....

Blimey, I remember them well. What a pair of characters!!

Great shot.

They sometimes arrived wearing sunglasses, even though it was quite dull.....

At least twice they arrived from INV with the pogo stick still in place - these were the days!

Thanks Mike!

They should have had white sticks to go with their sunglasses, that's why they didn't spot that the pogo sticks were still attached during their pre-flight walkaround!

I remember once that (although the pogo stick "faired" whilst in flight - it flew backwards in the airsream) when he/they arrived, there was obvious damage to the rear hole where the pogo stick was inserted after landing.

Nothing structural, but it looked a lot worse than it actually was....I have a picture but probably best not publicised!

He/they flew back to INV with the much bigger hole...(but the pogo stick properly stowed).

Sheesh....

I believe both Barney Barron and Ted Rawcliffe were both Lightning F1 pilots at Leuchars.

Ted ejected twice, the second one on finals into Leuchars quarry....
