It's them...

... and me. I was in the back of the second GR4 (callsign Midas 2), having just spent a very enjoyable evening with UGSAS taking part in a Tornado capabilities brief for the students, ably given by the crew in the first GR4 (Midas 1) that took off about 5 minutes before. See also the thread on the UGSAS reunion.

In answer to Speed Restrictions question, we could have got airborne without the reheat, but for (most of) the reasons already given, and to improve the safety margin had it failed, we used it. Besides, if you had it, it would be rude not to use it. Makes you guys sound positively quiet to.

SR. Hope you had a good trip but I bet it wasnt as much fun as the one we had on the way back to Lossie.

To OC UGSAS all the staff and students we met on the Thursday night, thanks for a great time. To Midas 1, thanks for organising a great night out.
