A bit hazy myself but seem to remember several 'Phinal' bashes. The fine colonial fellows from the KC135 ANG came to the last mini tiger meet and, as you rightly say, had about 200 years experience of the F4 between them - I still have the tee shirt. I wasn't there for the last hangar bash (FI duty)- unless it was the one where the holding officer's car spontaneously combusted (again)- but I rememebr being told the Americans liked the floor show by the ladies folk group. The Brits chose that point to leave, obviously. Happy days.......once a Tiger etc
