ExAscoteer,

Then you will certainly remember M*** G***** (previously mentioned) and the other GE who were the two GEs at Goose for the duration, as I recall. Not sure if you recovered on the sweeper aircraft with the rest of the deployed Lynehamites, but we had a few problems with the aircraft on its return from Eilson. With both a mainwheel change, and a rear GITZ replacement. I think the lads did very well with around a six hour delay in our return to Lyneham overall. It was a good deployment, overshadowed by the sad news we received on arrival at Edmonton.
