enfranglais: I certainly remember Tom Norcross, but from earlier Argosy days at Benson, when he was on the Wing staff. Good chap.

The history of how the RAF finally got to the C-130 is pretty long and tangled - see Chris Gibson's "On Atlas' Shoulders," for example - but (and not having flown the beast myself) I'd imagine that...

Dougie M: Co-pilot Solo seems to have been a general MRT force thing for, as I recall, we went up on Argosy Co-pilot Solo MCT details out on 105 and possibly back at Benson too. This was...

I suspect that the local newspaper has extrapolated from the recent Farnborough announcement about the Reds to an assumption that they will not appear at RIAT. As Wander00 says, they are still shown...

Doug: Like you, I have some memories of those Argosy/Andover/Beverley/Hastings streams, and of the mild mayhem that could ensue if going IFR when a Scatter Plan had to be executed. Anything similar...

Doug: In the early/mid-70s, a Herc was usually stationed at Gan over Christmas, very much in the hope that, if needed, it could move east or west without a big alert back at Lyneham. And very handy...
