Danish Drakens in the UK
Was anyone directly involved in squadron exchanges with Danish Draken squadrons Esk 725 and 729. I'm working on a piece about the Danish Drakens and I'd like to get a UK perspective on the aircraft. They were also involved in regular exercises in the UK eg. Mallet Blow at Otterburn. Some personal reminiscences would be very welcome.

Not the most useful of recollections but I fondly remember four Drakens departing from Waddington after a Mallet Blow exercise - returning for a (very) low pass over the A15 that impressed everybody!
The Danes also had a habit of zipping over my house in Sheffield - rare that any aeroplanes found themselves over the city but the Drakens did at least twice
