was on the scrap team for that aircraft (i.e 1435's last F4 groundcrew tour). I don't remember radar LRU's being given away as souvenirs! Forget that, I don't remember anything from that day (well, not after opening time). I wonder what happened to the gun pods?
I went down to try and recover the Falkland Island patch panels - to find the ground crew had trashed the lot, I mean literally, pick-axes put through all of them so they were unsalvageable. I could understand if they'd taken them for themselves, but just to destroy them...... OC Eng gave me the radar LRU as a consolation prize, so too speak.
