1994 RAF Laarbruch family day
In 1994 I managed to visit a family day on RAF Laarbruch by friends of mine who had a sister which was engaged with a British Harrier groundcrew mechanic. This was a social day without any flying program. Other aircraft/ squadrons attended for this cause. Most interesting were the Tornado F3, Jaguar and Canberra. And especially the Phantoms (and Harrier GR3) on a special apron which were used as Battle Damage Repair Training airframes.
