Good to see Ivan down these parts again, gives everybody else a reminder of why we need an air force.
Who out there remembers intercepting using the T64 console and the T80 radar at SaxaVord with Lightnig F6 from Leuchars, Victor tankers and no AEW at all (even before the Shac AEW2). We used to record our intercepts on the "Order of the Red Star" board in the Ops Room. My name is there 16 times. I wonder what happened to the board when they closed the site to controllers and made it a remote.
I went on a liasion trip to the Faeroes site while at Saxa Vord, and to get there the route was fly Logan Air to Sumburgh, then to London, fly London to Copenhagen. Night stop there, fly to Stavanger and then to Faroes. I could have rowed there quicker in a small boat. (Well not rearly but you know what I mean). They managed to get me as drunk as I have ever been.
All good fun.
