AA62,
In response to your post #1204,

Yes.

Never 'on' the mighty K, but had the pleasure on numerous occasions of being transported to various places accompanying our ground equipment. Great service, many thanks.

My only work association with the K was during GW1. The Airships decided we would not carry out our war role as there were sufficient AWACS coverage. So we tried to do our bit in assisting the turnaround and loading of many Hercs at Lossie who seemed to be flying round the clock.

One particular K had a streaming fuel leak under the stbd wing, but the crew accepted the risk and carried on. BZ guys.
