Wish someone had taken pictures of the 6 Squadron FGR2 which limped into Leuchars after trimming some fir trees up by Montrose. The underside of the aircraft was riddled with tears and even the stabilator had holes in it. The ERTT probe along with most of the lower antennas had beem wiped clean off the airframe.
This particular aircraft sat in what was called the "mod" hangar at Leuchars for quite some time. I was working on F6 Lightnings then, a nav insty. Just prior to joining glorious 43 Squadron. Eventually temporary repairs done and the aircraft limped back to base. I seem to also remember it flew with ground locks fitted to the U/C. (back to Conningsby ?) This happened sometime around `68 or 1969.
