Hi. While on 29 Sqn, I diverted into RAF Binbrook following an engine failure (big bang) over the North Sea. The date (my logbook says) was July 16 1980 and my pilot and I were flying Phantom XV 461. We often flew OCU aircraft. We eventually camped in with 11 Sqn who wondered whether I had left my "handbag" in the intake - a very weak joke. However, I cannot see the airframe letters so I can't tell whether it was us or not.
