At Newquay International Field, the 'Gallant Forty Twa' would launch from RW 31 with four Speys roaring, then cross the cliffs, descend to 100 ft and shut two down! After five hours sub-hunting, including a magnificent lunch, we would relight the two dormant Speys, climb back into the circuit then debrief in the Scruffs' Bar. Some debriefs lasted longer than the flight!
Sounds very boring......
The challenge is not an Antonov.
