MMHendrie1It's good to see that the memory of the faithful PR7 is alive and well and that WH779 is being cared for in such good hands. I flew WH779 from RAF Luqa on a number of occasions during my tour with XIII (
PR) Squadron. I'll dig out my logbook. Many happy memories of a great tour and so many distant places.
My longest sortie in a PR7 (not WH779) was from KAF Eastleigh (Nairobi) to Cairo, a distance of about 5200 miles, taking 5 hours and 5 minutes. Then a quick aircrew turnround and back to Malta. XIII Squadron did not operate the PR7 with tip tanks in those days. No autopilot either!
Keep up the good work WH779!
