@FODPlot:
Mid- to late 70s the German Marineflieger were taking delivery of their aircraft, SK Mk 41.
At the same time, British crews would train their German counterparts, operating from Culdrose.
I do recall that even a few big SAR cases were flown during that time, one leading to severe salt ingestion due to gale force winds, resulting in a flame out shortly prior to "jumping" over a cliff.
"Zoom"-climbing shortly prior impacting the cliff was a standard procedure back then. Having an engine fail just before climbing made it all a little bit more interesting.
Anyway, the trainers used aircraft designated for a delivery to Germany back then.
Maybe that explains it?
