Had been night flying late and got back in the early morning. Did some 'Q' planning and stacked to the hotel in Riyadh. Just about to go to bed when called in for some spurious reason. When we arrived, were given the real SP. Big replan over the secure phone with the mates from Muharraq, just about to brief when we went to Air Raid Red. After that had finished, went to the jets and led a 3-ship to RV with 8 Tornados from Muharraq. Airborne as fragged, but v.difficult weather. Let the boys go at the cast-off point at 0036 with best wishes, couldn't balance up the fuel amongst our formation due to centre-line hose fault. Waited for over an hour for all the team to reappear safely from Iraq; all aboard and homeward bound. Then a night flapless approach on absolute minima on a BDZ arrival (very carefully!). Debriefed, stacked to hotel, much smiling from friendly Saudis at the gate, up to room, watched F117 images, went to bed. Another 36 missions followed, then home on Mar 13, back to the pre-war Bulldog job on Mar 15.
