chevron,
T'was not me that had the RHAG whoopsie, struggling to remember who was driving that day. RR keeps coming to mind
.
Ah, the vagaries of the RAE Dept responsibilities, happy memories that brings tears to the eyes
. Had that organisation, and a few similar, not been wilfully destroyed few, if any, of our major aircraft screw-ups would have occurred.
An Approach-End RHAG engagement landing was almost the SOP when operating Buccs from West Freugh. Shortish, damp to wet runway, almost guaranteed 90 degree x-wind and probably carrying the odd 1000 pounder or 2 meant better to be safe than sorry. Great sport whatever
