RAF Stanley, 3rd tour, 1983.
The F4 came in quite handy for steam cleaning the snow off the runway.

I was lucky enough, being a common oik, to be offered a back seat ride, when one was being taken up for a stress test!

I’ve got to take my hat off to the crews for this unforgettable experience.

Quite how the back seat guys manage to type, and push the right buttons, God alone knows.

I remember trolling along quite nicely, and the driver asks ”Are you ready for this?”
“Go for it” I replied.
The only thing I can think of, to sum up the next 20 minutes or so is
