My Mesters Vig pickup was in the 70s (late I think), we also had (is it) Tom Norcross with us as he'd done Arctic Exped stuff before.
We had the aircraft Strip Prepped as the Mesters Vig runway was gravel and that was done at either Sondrestrom or Thule (without the logbook trawl, I don't remember). I think it was a 30 Sqn trip but may have been OCU, again don't remember without looking it up.
Coff . . . how old do you think I AM ???
September 8th 1978, XV299 Dave Noon as one of the Captains, Dixon being the other and it was Sondrestrom.
