Looking through my 3822 I can see that the BCal BAC1-111 flight out was on 10th August and returned on 19th August 1977. The BCal pilot informed us of Elvis on the flight back as we had been too engrossed at Luqa to worry about global news.
I always had in my mind that the Nimrod we spent some time (playing with the switches!!) on was XV243 but my research to date shows this aircraft not to have been with 203.
I am compiling a list of all Nimrods that at some time were based at Luqa, currently I have:
XV241, XV232, XV236, XV248, XV244, XV253, XV249, XV252, XV242, XV246, XV226, XV245 XV257, XV258, XV231, XV260, XV261, XV250, XV263, XV240, XV228
