Apologies for the thread drift, so you’d remember Messrs Boardman, Williams, West, Mc Claren and Fullerton, Caribou force landing on beach, 1-11 hanging on a wall and 1-11 oxygen fire?
Back to the thread, remember Kerry Drew OC SOAF Skyvans before he left to become OC Salalah. Thanks to Kerry organising and flying her, Mrs TCAS had a memorable day trip to Saiq.
The Skyvan was truly the SOAF workhorse for many years. Often wonder where they all ended up.
