I had a brief posting to Marham in '92, from LBH, in January, then back to HQ 2ATAF
HTB,

Ahhh... not so happy days. I also pitched up on II(ac) from LBH (from a disbanding XV sqn) at the same time as you. On the engineering side there was a mix of II(ac) people from LBH, a few Tornado bods from other units and a lot of Bloodhound bods from Raynham who had never been near anything that needed a turnround servicing.

ISTR arrival day for most folks was 6th Jan, which was first day after Xmas grant. Most blue chits never got completed because gung-ho CO (W/C Holding I think) insisted on a full flying program on the 8th. I lasted until June or July when I managed to get a swap into the engine bay. It was my second II(ac) tour in my career and not a patch on my first.
