I had the pleasure and privilege of flying the MR1 as a first tourist in the early days (206 Sqn, 72-75) and have fond memories, not only of the great flying (yes even Tapestry), but also the professionalism and cameraderie of fellow crewmembers.
A big day in the life of the Mighty Hunter, but not the end of an era. Hopefully just a comma in the sentence before the MR4 arrives to continue the fine tradition. "ON, ON"!
As an insightful Son (also a pilot) said to his reminiscing father recently "Dad, these are the good old days".
Wishing you all a peaceful and happy Easter from downunder.
Pat
