When I was living on the Amberley Air Base in 1974 ( I was posted to 82 Wing, Bomber Command ) I witness ( and many others on the Tarmac ) a ' simulated dog fight ' between a Mirage Fighter ( from 77 Squadron ) and an F111-C Fighter Bomber ( from 82 Wing ) no higher than 500ft directly over the Airbase. The F111-C was ' right up his clakker ' ..wings were fully swept back, the Mirage was ' twisting and turning ' all over the place ...I've never forgotten it... it was amazing....talk about an adrenaline rush ...!! It was the ' talk ' of the Airbase that day.... I miss those days....I need a ' time machine '...
