If I agree with the content it doesn't really matter to me who said it. I don't have to check to make sure they're wearing the right rosette first

We've got one here at Southend Airport. They do open days and runway blasts every now and again.
Well said Tony Blair
Before I was born ,
In the late 80's my year of apprentices from BCal did a trip to Southend to have a general look around. We were also allowed, for some strange reason to have a good clamber all over the Vulcan that was there at the time. Not sure if its the same one or not but it was a good day out.

UK and foreign military often use it for practice take off and landings.
Always makes me chuckle to think of some poor bastard in a far flung country booking their first trip to London and picking Southend as an airport thinking that it must be very close to the city, looking on Google tk see that it's less than an hours drive......to then be stuck on the A127 for 3 hours after they land 🤣
So we have been on level 3 since March and the 61 other countries have only just moved from 4 to 3
