Never seen such a quiet crewroom as the day Sqn Ldr Burke walked in and asked for a volunteer to recover the Boscobe cab to Odiham.
My understanding was that the aircraft was being recovered because Boscombe would not progress the trials any further (risk). I agreed to crew it back because.... no one else would...The CH47 mk2 fleet didnt fly that week...but it wasn't grounded!
