And I agree. We lost a lot of good friends, saw others captured and tortured and yet still the myths regarding the viability of low level attacks and the general poo-pooing of the GR1 (and subsequently GR4) and its capabilities and achievements does gripe me. It is one of the best and most successful attack aircraft we have ever had. It may not be as sexy as, say, the Bucc, or as superficially impressive as the Harrier, but when you examine what the crews, engineers and geeks have done with the aircraft, on operations near-continuously for nearly 23 years, I think my statement there stands the test.
Whilst my part in GW1 was relatively small, I do believe there are stories to be told and we all have them.....8kft and tapped by a AAA site being one of mine!
