Royal Flush 1968

[RAFG]

Hi There!

Has anyone some information about the british participation in NATO Recce exercise Royal Flush held in 1968?

I think 31Squadron flew in the dayrole but with disspointing results.
Who won the competition?

Thank you!
king regards

Both 2 Sqn and 4 Sqn (Hunter FR10) at Gutersloh competed in Royal Flush, I was on 2 Sqn at that time - will have to go searching various boxes

Thank you very much!
That would be nice!

I wonder when the last Royal Flush competition took place.... 1971???

Damn! I thought this was going to be about an alleged drain-fishing exploit at a Welsh hotel during the visit of a certain Royal personage...

Not sure if the links are of any interest but 1975 is the last one I could see:
