AFNORTH Oslo Andover XS 637 - Ascot 5999/1066
Good times indeed. I was a member of the crew 73-76. Captain was Bernie Donders, co-pilot Bill Tate, nav David Bray and crew chief Graham Leatham. Sadly we have lost Bernie and Graham. But Bill, Dave and I still meet up.
An outstanding tour. The aircraft was supplied by 46 Sqn, but paid for by NATO when operational. The aircraft was provided to support CinC North and we flew him from the very north of Norway to Rome and Naples. Many weekends free in Copenhagen. Aircraft kept, in our time, at Fornebu (Oslo civil airport) but moved to Gardemoen after we left.
A tough tour, but someone had to do it. The best tour with the best people in my 37 years service.
