I saw that pass over Heaton Park airshow when I was 3 in 1970, and I'm still shaking now.

I remember when one flew over Warrington, not long after the Falklands Conflict had finished. I thought the huge windows in my mum and dad's house were going to smash

A copy of Mayfair found on a field at the back of my gaff when I was about 8.

Exhilarating would be the wildest understatement in the history of the planet.

Up close and personal with one of the space shuttles at Cape Canaveral a few years ago. Took a well-placed elbow to the ribs from Mrs MB to stop me standing there gawping like a child.
