Oh, the memories.
The work-up out of Machrihanish for the 1st Red Flag (1977) ....fantastic .
Briefed close formation with Tornados at low level ,IMC whilst tornado is TFRing (soft mode) ...Pave spike ops.
Generally Fatastic.. probably the BEST EVER flying possible anywhere.
As for a previous comment.. I think it was V.B'wood who once said ( and I think it was during the 1st Red Flag) "S..t ,I thought we were going to have to fold the wings to get through THAT gap" commenting on "shambles yarrow" chosing a particularly narrow gap to fly through
