Taken from a Nimrod off Cyprus, the F3 having been Alpha Controlled for a Stern VID by a Shackleton. This being 1990, it was probably one of the last the Shackleton did.
The Shack also dropped liferafts on us for our dinghy drill. And I do mean
on us, not
very near us - we had to use miniflares as SAMs to drive the b#ggers off (which tells you how low they were)!
p.s.
P6 Driver, if that pic is from 27 April 1989, then I am driving 'DT' and claim my £5 ( B-the-B in the back. I think it is us as very few had white helmets.)
