I don't recall seeing any trees at the end of 06. But then, I usually had my eyes closed. And I've reached the age when memory isn't 100%.

do recall a 'recce' job that the tanker force had for a while that is even less exciting than others described here. We had to fly a rectangular pattern over central northern England, watching out for Nukes going off. If we spotted any, we were supposed to bugle up HQ Strike and tell them, in case they hadn't noticed. In plain English, as I recall, on the assumption that security issues would have been a bit down the priority list by then . . .
