Stratofreighter.

Both the Dutch officers flying with 55 Sqn at the time were pilots gaining
4 jet experience prior to forming the Dutch input to the, then, forthcoming NATO AWACS. Neither Maj Krauss or Capt Nieuwlands were allowed by their government to participate in the fun and games south of Ascension, but I believe that, apart from working their socks of in UK based flying, they were involved in ferrying Harriers and F4s to Ascension. They may also have been involved with C130 and Nimrod Deployments. The same restriction was applied to our USAF Exchange oficer to his intense annoyance.
