Can someone tell me the exact time and date the first F4 for RAF service arrived here? I have memories as a kid of being taken to the runway at Leuchars to see it land. My recollection is sometime in 1967. Can't be any more specific than that, though I do remember it was on a Sunday afternoon as we'd just had our lunch. Up to then all we'd had were Lightnings to ogle, and the odd Whirlwind flying out over St Andrews to rescue stranded yachtsmen.
Whilst on the subject of memories, can anyone shed light on the record breaking flight Coningsby to Singapore by two F4s from, I think, 41 sqn. They took bags of post office first day covers as it was the first time that flight had been done non-stop. The logistics must have been incredible, seven refuellings is my memory (or did I just dream it all?!).
