Granted that the Bear and the (very poor) photographic platform (presumably some Spam fighter) were just about in the same FIR, that film would have been useless for intelligence purposes.

Nothing to retract - and similar to the efforts of the SloeGins I recall from 25 years ago. Who didn't know a VC10 from a Nimrod - and who thought that the TriStar tanker was 'some airliner' next to the Bear.... Perhaps the same idiots who couldn't tell the difference between a Mil-24 Hind and an S-67 Blackhawk?
