She watched from the window as a load of troops jumped out ,started to run around and then quickly jumped back in and it took off.She lived in a farmhouse quite close to an area of desolate Saltings and Sea Marshes / backwaters.
At 7.30 two very polite officers knocked at her door with flowers and chocolates to apologise for an awful mistake and a request not to talk to the local paper ..........she didn't tell anybody and that was an end to it .
About 3 months later some top brass knocked at her door and explained that they were investigating an incident concerning a helicopter and mentioned taking statements for a court-martial proceedure .
She told them she couldn't remember anything.

It was at RAF Abingdon back in the 60s after my first ever flight in the morning on a DH Dragon Rapide.
I flew again on the same Rapide at Abingdon about 15 years ago.
At Duxford there used to be (and may still be) a Cold War section with a MiG 19 Displayed next to a Phantom. The MiG looked slim and elegant; the Phantom looked like it fell out of the ugly tree hitting every branch on the way down. The design brief was probably along the lines of ‘make it look scary’ (same goes for MiL24 gunships).

I wasn’t on parade but lugging pine poles behind the large building (College Hall) they were very low and very loud
The Typhoons have a very particular engine note but they're quieter than the F-35 Lightning. Even the F-15's when they scream over are quieter than the Lightning.
