A memory more that anything  but around 1976 I was 14 and in the ATC. During an Air Display at RAF Finingley (Doncaster/Robin Hood) the Red Arrows(Folland Gnats) swooped low over the  buildings rather than risk accidental mass crowd deaths. You could see the rivets(briefly), then the hot draughts and then the smell of.....paraffin! Kerosene technically but you can imagine just how giddy we were.

Cabin Pressure was a radio sitcom; are you thinking of The High Life?

Both are excellent, but very different.

Yes, you are quite right.  

I hadn’t even heard of the radio show.

Anyone with Flightradar24 on their devices, type in 'HOHOHO' to the search and it will show you where Father Christmas currently is. As I write this, he is just approaching Japan.
