RAF Tristar taxiing out for departure from RAF Waddington, 2010. Spent several hundred hours transiting around the globe on these, including across the Atlantic and back in the same 24 hours a good few times.

30 years ago today, on 9th January 1996, in the RAF Careers Office in Hanover Street, Edinburgh, I swore my ‘Oath of Allegiance’ and joined the Royal Air Force. For the next 16 years and 144 days I had amazing, sometimes surreal, experiences. I carried Princess Diana’s coffin; I met other Royalty; I circumnavigated the globe (once, in only 5 days); I appeared in FHM magazine (long story about a short article that nearly finished my career prematurely...); I went to the edge of space (with the Royal Norwegian Air Force) and I flew in 17 different types of aircraft (with 5 different Air Forces). At an early point along the journey they even decided to give me the Queen’s Commission (which took them 2 attempts). More importantly, I also met some amazing people along the way, including my wife. It was, mostly, bloody good fun (except when people were trying to kill me in sunny places)! Now, 30 years later, I am just Mr Campbell, teaching a new generation in a completely different way to what I could possibly have foreseen, and it is still (mostly) bloody good fun!
