This is a nice F4 pic but there is something quite odd about it for me.
Firstly, I clearly took it as I have the colour negative but, when I was on 29 Sqn.,I cannot remember ever flying formation with an OCU bird.
Also the crews are wearing white domes and I do remember flying 3 hour sorties in ASI wishing I had one. The head temp was way high and the legs, due to full on air conditioning, were frozen.
There is also a strange pod on the lead ac. I do remember a trial (Trial Unity?) when we flew against the OEU who were trialling a training ECM pod. Does anybody else know what was going on here?
