I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Finningley's role was to provide 4 aircraft for the Waddington wing. OCU crews would combat check the aircraft and we supplied the crews. We had to get 4 crews on the road,with operational go bags on a Mick, in under two hours.

On one exercise we generated 24 aircraft on top of 7 at Finningley and had to bus Finningley crews to Waddington when we ran out. We had to request additional ALNs and I ended up on QRA and also the duty ops officer. Had we had a QRA alert I would have had to make the broadcast and leg it.

Yes add Finningley.

BTW, it is PERSHORE.
