Military AviationA forum for the professionals who fly military hardware. Also for the backroom boys and girls who support the flying and maintain the equipment, and without whom nothing would ever leave the ground. All armies, navies and air forces of the world equally welcome here.
Where and When (B or L)? Recerts were occasionally conducted during exercise loads for convenience, but not routinely.
I was at Laarbruch on Buccaneers, I don’t recall ever doing a recert whilst loading on exercise, I guess the training cell might have had issue getting the permissions to get into the HAS. Team recerts were notified weeks in advance to ensure all team members (4), wpn and the police escort were available. It is possible if your date coincides with an exercise that it would be done then. We normally used a non flying training airframe housed in a hangar on the other side of the airfield.
