Do you know fella's,

I know ML had a nice white suit. The thought it had been made from lashing tape never occurred to me, good thought

I think you may be mixing stories......an affliction of old age that I often suffer.

The ML, white trousers and nightfighter incident was in the New Florida 2000 in Nairobi.....I believe. Albeit, I suspect the white trousers were frequently 'sported' in those days.

I remember that gent being trained up by a PJ (Geordie lad of some repute) in '85........I'm nearly as old as you.....

Dakar's Bistrot in between the N'Gor and the Diarama was yet another hangout; the garlic prawns were the least dangerous things to 'dip into'....

Cheers

The aircraft will be missed, having shown an amazing flexibility throughout its RAF career. No matter what challenges have been thrown at both aircraft and crews ,they have risen to them all. Well done chaps and chapesses .
