Nato Scrambles 400 Times Against Russian Planes
Could someone remind me how many 'Q' sorties 29 Sqn flew over the Easter weekend of 1988? They took over Southern Q on Thursday at 12.00 local, the normal take over day being Friday at 13.00 ISTR.
It was the first time Tornado F3 had been used on Q so when the guys from Moscow came to have a look around the North Sea on Good Friday and found a couple of said Tornado F3's on their wingtips, they got on the blower to their mates to come have a look.
