Sorry, didn’t fly it again until Dec 91, and then quite a lot in Jan 92. From what I recall, it got a good reputation as being a bag of spanners.
But you guys did a sterling job in getting it back on line considering the damage it received.
Les said it was the first Tornado to use JP233. His diary and camera shots filled my story. Just wish I had known my photos were at my mothers house!
The Tornado with the Purple Heart. The UK ABDR lads waiting to go into work at Dhahran for the first time in the afternoon after the raid. We didn't know we had trade. Had got off the Herc from Rhyaid the evening before. I knew the famous 31 Rigger "Charlie" Brown from my days in Germany. He was waiting for others off the Herc. "Charlie, why the **** are you dressed like Rambo?!"
