However, arriving at Linton as a QFI. War and we would take all the aeroplanes to West Freugh.
10 Months later I arrive at Cranwell to QFI and in the event of war we would take all the aeroplanes to West Freugh.
6 months later I arrive at Leeming to QFI, and in the event of war we would take all the aeroplanes to West Freugh.
1 year later I arrive at Finningley, and guess where we take all the aeroplanes in the event of war? You only get one guess.
I often wondered what W.F. were going to do with a few hundred aeroplanes and the aircrews.
That is one of the funniest posts I've read for a long time.
Maybe there was a secret hangar at WF filled with JP to Strikemaster conversion kits? Use the 3's as the first wave as decoys and then hit em hard with a second wave of 5's armed to the teeth?
That would teach em.......provided they were in JP range.
