RW05
Talkdown Man and I started at LL on 3rd Nov '86, and we saw loads of 23 ops particularly in that winter of 86/7.
I can honestly say that I never saw 05 in operation, but of course it could have been used when I was not at work.
Chevvron, the Heathrow Book states that 05 was finally pensioned off in the latter part of '93. I'm not a betting man but I'd wager it hadn't been used for a year or two before that.
Just been talking to Bob Hillyer on the blower and he was a 05 virgin too.
