Don't shoot me down for raising the mission to FL240
Back in March '77, 41 Sqn did a
Farewell Phantom tour of the Med, prior to converting to Jags. Our Albert was homeward-bound, and the previous night in the bar we'd all agreed to a spot of
embellish on our way out the next day - as one does.
We were duly bounced by, I think, a trio and I managed to get a few shots (with my cam, that is), as it was the last time we were likely to see the F4s bearing the
crux vera. I believe this shot was of the Boss's jet and was taken for me by the Co (
SS-S). At one point the
Tooms were in so close we held up a tray of sandwiches to the window and enquired whether they'd like some. They declined as they were returning to base for lunch!
I always thought it was such a nice pic, so I am sharing it with you! Any ex-41 PPRuNers out there take part?
