What's the story behind the RWY 72 markings?
zic

The mighty No 72 (Basutoland!) Squadron of the RAF flew Wessex helicopters (twin turbine S-58s - ish) in the "Troubles" in Northern Ireland from 1969 'til the "Noughties", almost certainly the longest continuous operational service by any RAF Sqn, ever.

Dungannon was one of several FOBs that were their/our "second home when we are in NI" to quote the song..........

Sic transit gloria mundi...... Ozymandias comes to mind .......
