Regret that I didn't, mostly shooting into the sun and too dark towards the end of the day. 3 Sqn didn't fly till the afternoon but did see a nice three ship departure by them (Rampage 1-3).

Best 3 Sqdn was



Best shot of the day came down to a 29 Sqdn machine

If the sun is in your eyes try the other side of the runway!

The crash was reported in the Australian press this morning claiming the navigator was on exchange from the RAAF.Glad to hear both are well.

Not on exchange but a lateral recruit perhaps?

Last pictures?

I heard about the Tornado crash, and was wondering, seeing as they were from Marham if anyone knows whether they were on a refuel that day with a VC10 tanker just off the Wash ranges, over the North Sea.

I was on an air experience visit on Tartan 23 out of Brize Norton that day, which refuelled, amongst others, a flight of GR4s from marham as they were flying sorties into the Wash Ranges. I wondered if maybe they were the same flight as that which had the accident?

Hope the guys are feeling less worse for the wear, and would like to know if anyone would want the pictures I nabbed before the accident (assuming it is in fact the same aircraft).

You might want to contact your BzN SQN that you flew with and ask if they did indeed refuel that jet. Believe it or not, if it was refuelled, and you DID get a photo, the BOI considers such pic as evidence. If it turns out that you hold such evidence, you might wish to submit it. Well done lad!
