I was an Armourer on V from 1994-2000 and loved every minute of it. A great Sqn with some great engineers and excellent aircrew too! One of the few squ
adrons I have ever served on where aircrew and ground crew really bonded. Reuts' description of the time he arrived on V is a very accurate one (I can actually remember him and the incident in PSAB). The preceding 2 years under 'Spence' had been fantastic, we seemed to win every trophy going! Despite its 'knockers' the F3 was a great interceptor and in the right hands, could regularly embarrass our American friends.
