Hello all.
Hope you are all well.
I'm in the middle of writing some words about Nimrod R1, XW666, and its forced landing on the Moray Firth back in 1995.
The pilot, Art Stacey, is kindly helping with words, facts and some photos.
I was wondering if any of you good folk served on the R1 with 51 Sqn and speciffically XW666. If any of you did serve I was hoping you might be able to pass on any points of interest. Any funny incidents or any unusual missions would be great. If any of you had any photos I could use would be excellent.
As most of you will be aware, there was, and still is, a lot of secrecy revolving around what the R1 guys got up too; so please be careful what you post on this open thread.
Please feel free to PM me or email at;

Thank you all in advance, very much appreciated as always.
