Tapper's dad - Firstly and most importantly my most sincere condolences to you and your family. I spent 2 years up at Kinloss and loved every minute of it. This is my first post on the site but I may be able offer some info. I was on a trip to Gib where we performed a flypast with your son's crew but that was in mid-late June. It was for some big celebration in the main square in Gib (I hope this helps to narrow down the dates). If this is the same trip you refer to, we did not fly in XV230 and we did not experience any emergency. We did return back to Kinloss earlier than expected, det should have been a week and turned into just a couple of days. I hope this helps.
