I thought that the Air Atlantique types wanted it and that was why it was replaced with SAR Helo for a Gate Guard? Or has that deal fallen through?

I must admit I thought it belonged to the charming retired types who opened it for my cadets to visit at the weekend - I thought it was already a preservation project.

I know a man who should be pleased to contribute...especially since he had ahem...romantic encounters in it when it was parked down the hill from the Sgt's Mess around 1990

Those beds do not look that comfy for any of that. Surprised to see she has the engines inhibited.

Love Shack

LOL - the timeline certainly fits, the B-52s put that single out in '89 and we sang it all the way down I-95 on det.

What is a Rolls-Royce "Griffin"? I would have guessed that they meant Rolls-Royce Griffon, but that is not fitted with an "avpin starter"????

What type of starter did the Vipers have? I'm guessing that they were electric and not avpin though.
