XV303
Apropos nothing but curiosity, I had a look in my log books to see when and how XV 303 featured.
Last time: 1979 - January 16th - Route checked from Gander to Nassau
but the first time was;
1968 - July 25th - Fairford - Gander (on Pond Jump)
Crikey - that's a long ago!

A glance through my Father's log book shows XV303 spent an inordinate amount of time plodding between Lyneham and Marham during the '70s. Any reason that a given airframe would get the same route so often?

First flew it in June 1975 with that doyen of flight deck humour, John Hardwick whilst I was on a Route Check to Luqa. Last time in 1987.
Long time ago . . . still, all things must pass.
