Like you, Cap'n Gadget, I also wandered twixt the sqns - depending on which was in a mud-moving phase (couldn't be doing with all that grunting and swelling neck size required for ACM); managed about 100 hours in under two years - not bad for a ground tour (but nowhere near as much as the guy I replaced, and I got to use nearly all my leave entitlement).
My idle curiosity as to range usage was sparked by a snapshot of what looked like the same level of activity as I experienced in the early eighties; is it about the same now that the Hawks are at Valley.
