'86 would make sense as I would have been 5. Terrible about the crash, had no idea that 2 went down, always thought it was just the one but never bothered to look it up as it was a sad day, but I have just Googled it and found a horrible video of it and a real shiver down the spine photo too. Glad I was too young to take it all in really.
I would say '88 was probably the second time I went as I don't think it was the following year and thanks for confirming that Cluny as I know the "loud plane" was a lot louder than anything else so with my knowledge today I reckon it must have been a Lightning. Could have been a Starfighter though!

Right on ,twice we done that ,overnight train to Scotland ,climbed a mountain ( or two ) and then got the overnight train home again so in the space of 36 hours travelled approx 900 miles and didn't cost a penny apart from a can or two of lager

Take only photographs,leave only footprints .

So are your origins in Scotland or Yorkshire?
