See what you are saying Brian, my question really was whether a particular airframe was favoured by our many posters. I know that for me, 200 had to be the aircraft that my service seemed to follow. I was a member of a team that did a Base 3 (Major) on the beast circa 1972. A lift to Aldergrove, and operation "Motorman" followed. And it was the prime SF airframe that I supported throughout my time as an AGE up to my leaving in 95. I believe it visited me once again when Blue team AES (I was the team manager at the time) completed a Minor servicing shortly before I was declared "medically unwelcome" and became promoted to Mister. So, for me XV200 holds special memories. Now, I bet there's some drivers airframe that can tell us about the fleet banana's that they would rather not have taken away from Lyneham.
