Never flew it but took a lot of gas off it.

My favourite recollection of those who operated it was a cryptic comment penned beneath a notice in the planning room at RAF Gan that implored the captains of four-jets to line up at least 1000 feet down the runway in order to avoid damage to the approach lights on engine run-up:

"I will write off the approach lights at one end or the other - which would you prefer?"
