GF,

I would certainly like copies if possible. I flew a few hours in 852 in the late '80s at Boscombe. Our F4K, XT897 (a pre-series aircraft), was down for a long time after a bad birdstrike so we used to borrow 852 from BAE every couple of months for some currency flying. When I first flew it it had only flown about 750 hours total and was like new. It was also slightly different from a standard FGR2/F4M in that it had the drooped ailerons and slatted tailplane like an F4K. It was a really nice jet and sad to see that it ended up on the fire dump at West Freugh.
