This won't find the origin of the ****ehawk which is definitely Canadian. The Tac C130 Squadrons at Lyneham had exchange Airdrop exercises with their opposite numbers in North America. LXX visited the U.S.A. on Ex Long Link either to Little Rock or Dyess. 47 had a more( IMO) enjoyable time in Canada on Ex Cross Check with either 435 at Namao, Edmonton or with 436 at Trenton. The Eagle Eyeballs Airdrop Competition trophy ( a stomach churning "bouquet" of prosthetic eyes on a plinth) was inconsequential to the ritual hostage taking of artefacts to be held for ransome. 47 still has a massive carved wooden elephant that might belong to 436.
