Lightning Battle Flight launched from GUT for live missile firing at Aberporth.
Radar fails en-route, then LFS (poor HUD) fails when on the range.
Chinagraph pencil ‘aiming’ cross placed on centre windscreen; aircraft and missile pointed at the target, acquisition, fire, live warhead success.
Return via Valley with bottle and 200 (always kept under Battle Flight seats) – HM customs notified via ‘Jones the plod’, but the aircraft was always in a restricted area.
Train as you are going to flight – fight as you train.
