In the early 80s the 2 ringer who played the Russky in most Air Exercises at Chivenor,one B B,declared himself an Ex Chippie driver of said outfit.He was fluent in Russian,and was in Germany recovering from an incident,of which he had had a few,but flew the Chippie on such sorties.He became Boss of 63 I believe a bit later.The Wingco Ops at Chivenor then was also Ex Germany and had done likewise,and knew BB well.Said Wingco was in the "chair" when the Pablo Mason "Red Tea Shirt" event occurred.Somewhere I have a small Air to Air Pix of the 151 Hawk minus most of its nose with main gear hanging,prior to the SNO vacating followed by the tattered red tea shirt worn by Pablo,taken by the chase plane sent up by G L the Wingco Ops,but am not clear how to post it here!!
