About 5 or 6 years ago we took (Acting) Wg Cdr Phil Beech (Sp?) the F3 nav flying in a Nimrod out of Seeb when he was doing some Nimrod tasking and liaison job at the embassy. As we passed through F230 we had a round of applause for him on intercom and gave him a certificate, as we believed it was the first time he had been so high in a military aircraft. I also had the crew monitor him for the rest of the sortie to ensure that he didnt get nose bleeds as he was flying so high for so long. Think he only twigged we were extracting the Michael as we were on finals!
