28 May 1983 Hercules CMk1 XV293 10.35 Day. Bodo - Elmendorf, double gyro and routing directly over the geographic North Pole.

Nothing special about the trip, not a stunt, the crew just elected to go to Alaska via Bodo and north rather than Gander and west for training purposes. Astro was the only fixing aid once out of Tacan range.




9 May 1984 Hercules CMk1K XV203 10.45 (7.30 Day, 3.15 Night). Tanker ferry from Port Stanley to Ascension, no AAR involved.
