Civobs
curious to know if we had/get any visitors other than the bears?
18 September 1972, on JMOPS from the not-so-secret Fife airbase, we intercepted 2 x Bison and “escorted” them from somewhere north of the Shetlands as they flew south to about 30 nm east of Hull. They then turned north & politely dropped us off at Bell Rock. This was convenient as we had just reached joker (4h 20 min airborne) and this position was within the radius of action of the IAF Lightning which scrambled to take over the task.
