Here's a couple more, featuring the F-4J(UK)s of 74(F) Tiger Sqn:


One of 101's earliest tasks in the 1983/4 era was to trail the F-4J(UK)s back from California to the UK. At the time, the Mk32 pods weren't cleared for that rancid fuel available at USAF bases, so we went via places such as Dayton International! Not a bad little number - bog off to San Diego wait for the jets to be ready, then bring them home. Plenty of time off too!

A typical Tiger Trail:


2 x VC10K2 trailing 3 x F-4J(UK)s somewhere near Greenland. The photo was taken by one of the 74 Sqn mates from the third F-4, but I'm not sure who it was.

The Victor crews were very envious of such fun!
