I see some much-heralded Brimstone on the closest Tonka there aswell :-)
Err - I was orderly officer there in 1986 when a co-ordinated terrorist attack targeted the base in retaliation for assistance to the US F111 sorties. They drove up Ladies Mile to the fence and lobbed 3 RPGs onto the beach (crowded on a Sunday afternoon) and emptied a full mag of AK47 rounds into the car park. The other team had a mortar and walked several rounds across the airfield, fortunately missing anything important.
Amazingly there were only 2 very minor injuries.
Must admit I had forgotten that incident (it was a long time ago), which is remiss of me as I was there for a short visit not long after. I bet that was more exciting than supervising jankers for the 100 Sqn groundcrew that were p!ssed-up again!
