Scuse me if this is a repeat, but couldn't be hassled wading thru all the replies!
I remember my CO, a few years ago, telling me a lovely story about his time on Buccs. He was in Akrotiri, on 5 mins readinnes during the beirut crisis, and things turned real nasty for the Brit UN force there.
So off they went (just 2 of em), loaded with 1000lb 'ers (I think - although this story is second hand), and wired the city....apparently the lebaneese warring factions papped their panties and backed off, the Brits were pulled out then it all ent to mary hell and back (US Embassy bombing etc).
I told him I hear a story that they came back with TV aerials embedded in the fuselage, to which he replied 'Thats rubbish...we were flying below the aerials, between the apartment blocks....'
I began respecting older people from then on....
