Well the Germans and Italians have all buggered orf now.My first school was in Malta, we lived in a flat in Valleta, my dad was in the RAF. I have some good memories of the place. But I think it might have changed a little since I was there.
It was about four or five years back - all I recall other than be somewhat surprised it was a blisteringly hot day so I am now wondering if it might have been to do with the Eastbourne Air Show (which is brilliant by the way!)No reason for a Herc to be low around there. No airfields there that a Herc would put down on, No Military Low Flying Zones and no scheduled execises.
Someone is keeping tabs on you....
Already happened - there a quite a few craters on the course and in the surrounding area. I have always assumed these are from bombs that were dumped as soon as the enemy crossed the coast followed by a handbrake turn then home at full throttle.Local golf course penciled in for bombing practise?
There's a bit of a difference between "I was buzzed by a Herc not too long ago" and "It was about four or five years back"..... you feckin' beanbag...!It was about four or five years back - all I recall other than be somewhat surprised it was a blisteringly hot day so I am now wondering if it might have been to do with the Eastbourne Air Show (which is brilliant by the way!)

There is a massive one by the first green. Sadly I have been down it more than once.
Yeah, roll a Daisy Cutter out the back of the Herc and it'll take care of any golf course.Local golf course penciled in for bombing practise?

Living between 2 battle areas we sometimes get 130's..I was buzzed by a Herc not too long ago down here - came straight at me at very low level while I was driving, low enough to scare the poo out of me. Anything you want to tell me?
Not sure they should have been that low but I loved it, but probably not as much as the crew did
I expect you've had your fair share of A10's trimming the hedges.Living between 2 battle areas we sometimes get 130's..
A long time ago we was in the back garden with the kids as were the neighbours when one flew over very very low.
The hold was open and solders we sitting on the edge..
As it passed over we were showered with sweets !
Noisy fooking things.. but 9 out of 10 DO stick to the M.A.P., which is not a long way away ( it ends about 1/2 mile west of us, over the forest ) but in general we do not have to suffer tem right over headI expect you've had your fair share of A10's trimming the hedges.
After two world wars, I would think it’s changed a bitMy first school was in Malta, we lived in a flat in Valleta, my dad was in the RAF. I have some good memories of the place. But I think it might have changed a little since I was there.

'Four or five years back' is less than 10% of my lifetime there fore meets the Oxford. English Dictionary definition if 'not too long ago'.There's a bit of a difference between "I was buzzed by a Herc not too long ago" and "It was about four or five years back"..... you feckin' beanbag...!
I thought you meant in the last few days or weeks.
Probably was doing a pass for the Eastbourne Show.
You appear to have missed my answer...'Four or five years back' is less than 10% of my lifetime
What does it mean in your world? 10 minutes? Two weeks? Three months?
