Danny:-
...and drank a lot of "John Collinses" (must not get dehydrated, you see).
Which rather trumped listening to David Jacobs and Desmond Carrington (for want of batteries), and if it's not too ungallant, Vera Lynn (for want of needles) I'm sure!
BTW, Danny, you mentioned 136 Wing as a known unknown. It would still seem to be, as both Wiki and Air of Authority seem pretty vague about it (though I'm not a member of the latter which might be the explanation for that). Have you any idea of what they were flying, from where, and against what (we can guess whom)? All subject to the OSA of course. I wouldn't want to be the cause of you becoming the guest of HM, or helping with her enquiries you understand...
