Roped 'off'
Tasked with winding up the 'crowd-line' rope - one of her crew gathers it in as spectators step across and take advantage of a closer look at US Navy Lockheed P-3C Orion 156507/LP31 from
VP-49 Squadron during the RAF Mildenhall 'Open House' - 14th October 1972.
The good old days - when US military aircraft were adorned with brightly coloured squadron markings and motifs!
Note also this was taken in October - before the advent of Mildenhall's famous 'Air Fete' extravaganzas - subsequently held in May of each year!
