STRANGER than fiction. How many aircraft, both military and civilian, do you imagine have had forced landings, or crashed, in the Port Stephens area over the years?
That's the question posed by a Weekender reader in response to last week's story about the Sabre jet explosion over The Junction, in inner-city Newcastle, in August 1966. My first reaction was probably two, or three, or a half a dozen, maybe. Who really knows, as memories are so short.
