I have done the Lopro from both sides, on 27 Sqn despatching a Canberra to do the run but as stated, Selfpro was much more fun.
On 7 Sqn at St Mawgan we did the Lopro but working with a Nimrod which was a much more valuable asset then the Canberra. It was more covert with the Nimrod broadcasting blind and we formatted below it in a racetrack oriented towards the target. Once outbound the Nimrod opened his bomb doors, when he closed them we were inbound at 80 miles at which point we dropped to low-level and flew in calling contacts as we saw them. The plan was if we stopped broadcasting then they were probably hostiles!
One time I did it, as we reached the target group of fishing vessels a voice from the ether said 'don't pull up'. The Nimrod had followed us to see what we did, I raced him home from there.
