The annual Community Day at RAF Cottesmore was always to be looked forward to because of the interesting visitors it attracted, especially from the German and Italian Air Forces. Those two Air Forces, along with the RAF, created the Tri-National Tornado Training Establishment, that was based at RAF Cottesmore until spring 1999.
A photocall was arranged for aviation enthusiasts on the arrivals day. It was superbly organised, and Cpl Waldron and his team worked hard to ensure the event was a success. This included asking the crew of each aircraft to pause on the taxiways in front of us and operate canopies, refuelling probes etc., which was much appreciated.
