RAF Luqa, in 1954
written by Brian Townsend
 The pic. of the USAAF Neptune, a few of which occasionally operated from Luqa, reminds me of my close call with one. It was about 02.00 and pitch black when I was cycling, my speed being helped by a following wind, along the peri. track from the BABS hut to the domestic site. I had a headlamp switched on and this undoubtedly saved me from hitting a propellor of a Neptune that was taxying with no lights and coming straight for me. Within feet of impact, the wingpod light was switched on and I swerved away. |

There is nothing worse than breaking down. But if you do, the RAC have more than 1,500 patrols ready to rescue you, whether you are at the shops or on the motorway. They will always try to fix your vehicle at the roadside, but if they cant they will make getting it repaired as painless as possible.
