Op Corporate '82

During Op Corporate, while the UK fleet was in transit between the UK and Ascension Island, there was a massive flying programme designed to get as much kit as possible to the island.
At LYN nearly all training was cancelled and OCU crews got a chance to do some 'real' work.
I was on the staff at STS and here we are on Ascension.

Ignoring my rather unfortunate pose, the rest of the crew are:
Pete B (Boss of STS); Henry P; 'Yanto' T; and Bert H.



A few weeks later some a/c were fitted with Long Range tanks, and others with probes. Things became quite busy at STS.
