We are cooking with gas!

Some I now remember from 70-77, but not all.

My “best” callsign was at Strubby in c. 1966, from a TF-100 who had just ejected off the Lincolnshire coast. He came up on 243.0 from his PLB and just said “This is Wiggins, anybody there?” The rest of the story I posted somewhere else in this Forum. He was rescued, but his partner didn’t make it, and subsequently Wiggins resurfaced on F-111 at LAK in the 70s ... sadly I never got to meet him.

Mayday call from a military aircraft
