ShyTorque,
I think we went through this one a decade ago.
This was an "In Theatre" generated Task utilising "In Theatre" assets. It would not have merited a Comms Fleet aircraft. Anyway, that would have necessitated a flight from Southern England to Belfast and Inverness; plus a return Flight to Base. This would have had to be repeated in reverse at the end of the "Conference". NO Comms Fleet Aircraft was available for such a task that day - there was not a single serviceable Comms Fleet aircraft untasked at Northolt on the 2nd June 1994. It took till 2 AM on the 3rd to rearrange the programme to "free up" a 125 for the BOI.
