SADBLOKE:
Sorry, I wasn't the "colonial brother" you mentioned flying tankers! Strictly an RF-4C driver ... but I was the only Yank present at the "do" I attended. 56 did, indeed, win the piano burning that night!!!
EXMIL:
Perhaps you also remember a small USAF contingent (6) from the 1st TRS at Alconbury showing for a "tete-a-tete" late '87 with 56? That mess dinner cost me my "IKE Jacket" white mess kit after a victorious run-in with a flaming mop competing in "mess table jousting"! The fire bucket helmet was the only thing which saved the moustache.
Anyone have email addys for Gary Hewitt, Tony Barmby, Mac MacCartin, Jack Christian (SP), or Andy Green...... or PTUI..... Nick Gilchrist (Harrier mate)??
PS: I was also the ONLY Yank stupid enough to stand in "silly mid off" at the AWC Staff/Student matches (before the move to B.P.) ....and survive..... caught 2 off my chest (hurt like buggery) ,but after 10 or so Pimm's, hardly hurt at all, til the next day.
