There have been some CBY boys wanting to cross the Atlantic all week this week (Yes i have been listening to my scanner).
After several days they really thought they were going yesterday but then i had a TriStar orbiting the area with problems eventually RTB.
Up just now, had the Tonkas come back overhead to RV with another Tristar and again the crew have just had to shut down an engine and RTB.
The pilots words said it all when he had to tell the Tonkas...
Any European country care to lend the MoD a serviceable tanker?
