Didn't RAF Lossiemouth used to have a competition on Tain Range in the late 80s? IIRC the target (Piano) was placed on Tain Range and the Lossie sqns took it in turns to destroy the target. Jags and Buccaneers attacked with practice bombs, the Shackleton attacked with smoke and flame floats (?) all unsuccessfully (why oh why oh why did they take the nose guns from the Shack?).

I believe the winners were the Sea King crew who lowered the crewman on the winch armed with an axe and a Zippo.
