In Nov 81 we (F-4) did our annual gunnery APC out of St Mawgan…can’t remember exactly where relative to the airfield we did actual shooting but it would not have been a long transit and was performed in the manner ORAC described.

I see from the logbook during that APC I did one sortie as a dedicated “sweep”, presumably for range safety but can’t remember the details.

The was also of course the Air-to Air gunnery done by the tactical weapons units….In my case, Brawdy, in 1980, gunnery usually done out over the Bristol Channel.
