That might be the same day thet 2 Sqn Ldrs in a new Beemer - driving up the access road shuddered to a halt as the 93 fried the engine management... then there was the problem with some new phone system, can't remember the name - but it worked on the same freq as the 93 - and the receivers for that system used to go bnag as the 93 swept thru...

Wasn't as good as the old 85 - the substation used to glow cherry pink when half the transmitters were run up!

Now the 85 was a beast of a thing. The groups in the NAAFI at Boulmer used to try and fit the sweep into the act as it zapped their speakers

Ah, yes, the T85. Was at Neat when a pongo got on the roof of the R12 during an exercise, and heard the same thing had happened at Boul as well. Have they had any kids, by the way?
Heard that Boul's T85 was run up at full power once and blacked out Newcastle - still, Geordies wouldn't know the difference between day and night, they're always gannin' ****e.

I was at Neat when the Techy was knoked off the R12 by the radar straight in front of the MT yard, did not survive. Rocks thought it was a good vantage point, childless no doubt, saves the hasle

Staxton was the place with the rock sniper from what I heard, he was up on the roof for 8 Hours dueing a Taceval. Neatishead's one was run up to half power with the power house shut down on a Sunday lunch time, tripped the sub station at Great Yarmouth blacking out most of North East Norfolk.

Another one was a Mess Steward on station guard force at Buchan in the late 70s; he was posted to guard the T95 (RAF Form S259 then) and decided to stand on the roof of the control cabin to see better, while it was turning and burning.
When he was relieved he was sent straight to the SMC to be checked over and was asked questions, such as "Feeling tingly?" "Do you feel warm all over?" "Hot in the nether regions?"
He started to panic after a couple of hours when he was told an ambulance was going to take him to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary's isolation ward.
We had to tell him then that he shouldn't worry about the 259's radiation - his teddy went out the 12th floor window!
