Marham mid-late 80,

Hi, Mig15, You will have seen my posts here and there, and perhaps gathered that I am researching for a book on the Victor. One area I am keen to explore is what was done after the Falklands to keep the aircraft flying, bearing in mind their fatigue consumption had been very severe for several months. I believe some additional aileron up-rigging was done to extend the fatigue life, but when? Looking at 715, it appears that there is about twice the upset I remember from 1980. I wonder if any airframe mods were done - strengthening plates for example. Any information you can give me would be gratefully received, as would any stories of your time at Marham, or even pictures. All the best. Bob
